Access Switch
Est. $25–$65
The Access Switch is a touch-sensitive push button that lets someone activate a device with a light press instead of using a keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen. It comes in a small size (30mm pressing area) and a medium size (65mm pressing area). A clear screw-on cap holds a picture or symbol on top, so the switch can be labeled with the item or action it triggers, and you can swap the image as needs change. It clicks and gives a tactile response when pressed, which helps people who need that confirmation. This is only the switch. It has a 150cm cable with a 3.5mm mono plug, so you'll need a compatible device or switch interface to plug into, and the picture symbols are not included.

it-Switch
Est. $60–$120
The it-Switch is a wireless switch with a low, slanted profile and a flat base. It responds to very light pressure, so it suits someone with limited movement who needs a way to activate adapted toys, computer software, or tablet apps. It comes in a small size (75mm) or a large size (125mm), and it works up to about 10 metres from its receiver. It is a piece of a larger setup: it needs a compatible receiver or app to do anything, and only the large size can be mounted to an arm, using a separate triangular mounting plate.

Leaf Switch
Est. $30–$75
The Leaf Switch is a light-touch switch that sends a signal when someone presses it in one direction. It takes very little pressure, so it can work for a person with limited strength or movement. It comes with a removable 3-inch round foam pad for comfort, and it gives a click you can feel and hear to confirm each press. You can use it to run switch-accessible games, adapted toys, and other assistive devices, or to operate environmental controls. It's the switch only, so you'll need something switch-accessible to plug it into before it does anything.

Head Switch
$83.95
This head switch is a mountable switch that responds to very light pressure, so someone who can't press a switch with their hands can set it off with their head instead. It also works with pressure from a knee, elbow, or another body part. It comes with a heavy duty ball joint for positioning, and it attaches to the maker's switch mounting systems, which are sold separately. On its own it doesn't do anything: it has to be plugged into a switch-accessible device or toy, and getting the mount and placement right usually takes some trial and error.

Chin Switch
Est. $40–$90
The Chin Switch hangs from a necklace so it rests at chin level, letting someone press it with a small chin or head movement instead of using their hands. It takes about 110 grams of pressure, has a 70mm pressing surface, and gives both a click sound and a tactile feel so you know each press registered. A 180cm cable ends in a 3.5mm mono plug for switch-adapted devices like communication devices and adapted toys. This is only the switch, so it does nothing until it's connected to a device that accepts switch input.

Tilt Switch
$52.95
The Tilt Switch is activated by movement instead of a press. It senses when it tips, so someone can trigger it by tilting a head, arm, or leg. A Velcro strap holds it to that body part, and the tilt sensitivity can be adjusted. It's a good fit for someone who can't use a switch with their hands. It can also be used for posture training. This is just the switch. It does nothing until it's connected to a switch-accessible device or toy, so you'll likely need a switch interface or adapter. It's small, at about 3 by 2 by 1 inches and 2 ounces.

Pinch Switch
$48.95
The Pinch Switch is a small, sensitive switch that you squeeze between the fingers to turn on a switch-adapted toy or device. It is about 3 inches long and weighs 2 ounces, so a child can hold it in one hand, and it responds to very light pressure. It also gives a child practice with grasping, fine motor, and pinching skills. On its own it does nothing, because it only works when plugged into something switch-accessible, such as an adapted toy or a switch interface. A tablet would need its own interface first.

Thumb Switch
$47.95
The Thumb Switch is a hand-held switch you grip in your palm and activate by pressing a red button with your thumb. It works as a momentary switch, so it's active only while the button is held down. It's a good fit for someone who has reliable thumb movement but may find other switch styles hard to reach or press. The body is a yellow cylinder about 4½ inches long that weighs 3 ounces, and it has a cord of roughly 4 feet. On its own it does nothing: you'll plug it into a switch-adapted device or toy, or connect it to a computer through a switch interface, since computers don't have switch access built in.

Koosh Switch
$129.95
The Koosh Switch is a soft, textured switch that works two ways: as a stand-alone toy that responds with lights, music, and vibration, or as a switch that activates other devices. People who enjoy the koosh feel get a touch-friendly target to press or reach for, which makes it a good fit for encouraging reaching and cause-and-effect play. It runs on 2 AA batteries and measures about 8 by 5 by 4½ inches. It contains latex, so it isn't suitable for anyone with a latex allergy.

Grasp Switch
Est. $40–$80
The Grasp Switch is a squeeze-activated switch that fits in the palm. A gentle squeeze is enough to trigger it, so it works for someone with limited hand strength or motor control. It's meant to control switch-accessible games, adapted toys, and environmental control systems, and the maker describes it as built for frequent use at school, in therapy, or at home. This is only the switch. It does nothing until it's connected to a switch-accessible device, and getting the right match between the person, their squeeze, and what they're controlling is where an OT or ATP can help most.

Plate Switch
$62.95
This plate switch is a flat, brightly colored pad that responds to a very light touch, so someone can turn on a toy or device on their own. It measures about 3 by 5 inches, runs without batteries, and has suction cups that hold it to most smooth surfaces. It suits a person who can press a pad but can't manage small buttons or controls. The switch is only one part of a setup: it does nothing until it's connected to a switch-adapted toy or device.

Select Switch
$117.84
The Select Switch is a battery-powered switch that lets someone operate battery-operated toys, appliances, and other devices on their own, using the switch's function controls. It's a good fit when pressing a small built-in button on a device is hard, and the switch can stand in for it.

Switch & Glow
$129.95
The Switch & Glow is a switch with soft, stretchy neon noodles around a ball. A very light touch turns on a glowing light and also triggers a connected toy or device. It's meant for kids who are learning cause and effect or working on reaching. It's a good fit for someone who responds to bright light and different textures. It runs on 2 AA batteries and stands about 6 inches tall. It contains latex, so it isn't suitable for anyone with a latex allergy. Pressing down on it also activates it.

Switch Skills
Est. $30–$80
Switch Skills is a Windows program of game-style activities that help someone practice pressing a switch at the right moment. In activities like Racing Cars, Catch the Crocs and Soccer Shoot, the learner presses to race, catch or kick when the timing is right. Bright graphics and audio feedback make it usable for learners with low vision. The program tracks performance, and you can raise the difficulty as skills grow. A related Scanning title builds early scanning and choice-making skills. It is software only, so you will need a switch the learner can use and a way to connect it to the computer.

Finger Switch
$99.95
The Finger Switch is a small wearable switch that turns a very slight finger movement into a press, so someone with limited mobility can activate a device. It takes about 15 grams of force to trigger. It measures 1½ inches long by ½ inch wide and weighs 1 ounce, and it comes with an 18-inch section of Velcro. You can position it in several ways to suit the person using it. On its own it does nothing; it works as the control for a switch-accessible toy, communicator, or other device.

Twitch Switch
$159.95
The Twitch Switch picks up very small muscle movements, even something as slight as wrinkling your forehead, and turns them into a switch press. You can raise or lower how much movement it takes to trigger it, and you can choose between on-off, momentary and timed operation. It suits someone who has very little movement and needs a way to operate a switch-accessible device. It runs on a 9-volt battery and is only one piece of a larger setup, since it needs a device to control and sensors that pick up the movement.

Pillow Switch
$140.00
The Pillow Switch is a soft, smooth switch that someone can press with the head, cheek, or another body part, with a light touch. It plugs in through a 3.5mm mono switch jack, so it can operate compatible communication aids, toys, and other switch-accessible technology. It fastens to a pillow or wheelchair cushion with a safety pin and Velcro, which puts it right where the person's head or cheek rests. This is only the switch. You'll need a switch-accessible device to plug it into, and a therapist can help with choosing a good spot and checking that the person can activate it reliably.

Turtle Switch
$159.95
The Turtle Switch is a turtle-shaped toy that responds to a light touch with music, lights, vibration, or all three at once. You choose which of the three outputs are active. The music is custom songs made by the manufacturer, and the music, lights, and vibration play only for as long as the toy is pressed. It's a good fit for a young child who is learning cause and effect, or who needs a gentle, rewarding reason to reach for and touch something. It runs on 2 AA batteries and measures about 9 inches long, so it works as its own play and sensory item.

ToFFEE Switch
Est. $150–$350
The ToFFEE Switch works without being touched. It uses time-of-flight sensing (it measures how far away a hand or other object is) to register a press when something comes within range. You can set it to one of 10 ranges and choose from several output modes, so it can be tuned to how much movement someone has. It has a rechargeable battery and connects by wire. Because nothing has to be pressed, it can suit someone who can't apply force to a switch, and it's easy to keep clean. This is a switch only, so it needs something to plug into, like a switch interface or a switch-accessible device.

Big Red Switch
Est. $50–$90
The Big Red Switch is a large, press-down switch with a 125mm top, making it an easy target for someone who has trouble hitting a small button. It gives a firm tactile feel and an audible click when pressed, and it only activates while pressed. It comes with red, yellow, green, and blue tops you can swap, which helps tell switches apart when you use more than one. A 180cm cable ends in a 3.5mm mono plug, and you can mount it with adhesive, hook-and-loop fasteners, or a switch mount. Keep in mind that this is only the switch. It does nothing until it is plugged into something that accepts switches, such as a communication device, a computer with scanning software, an adaptive toy, or an environmental control.

Ladybug Switch
$159.95
The Ladybug Switch is a colorful, ladybug-shaped switch that responds to a very light touch. Each press can give a reward of lights, music, vibration, or any mix of the three, so you can match the feedback to what a child enjoys. It's meant for young children who are learning cause and effect or working on reaching and activating a device. It also works as a sensory toy on its own, and it can be used to trigger other switch-adapted devices. It runs on 2 AA batteries and measures about 9 by 6¼ by 4 inches.

Pal Pad Switch
Est. $40–$90
The Pal Pad is a thin, flat, silent switch that needs only about 35 grams of force to activate, so it works for someone with very light or limited movement. It's only 3mm thick, yet built to take rough handling, and a foam rubber backing helps keep it from sliding around. It plugs in through a 3.5mm mono jack on a 75cm cable, which lets it connect to communication aids, switch-adapted devices, and computer interfaces. It comes in mini (50mm x 50mm), small (60mm x 100mm), and large (110mm x 150mm) activation areas, and in red, blue, green, yellow, or black. The silent press is a good fit for someone who is bothered by the click of a standard switch. Keep in mind this is just the switch, so it does nothing until it's connected to something that responds to it.

Specs Switch IC
Est. $30–$75
The Specs Switch IC is a small, sturdy switch that lets someone activate a device with a simple press instead of using a keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen. The cap can be swapped for a different one, and it can be mounted in more than one way, so it can be set up around where and how a person moves best. It is used for communication, play, and controlling things in the environment. This is just the switch. It does nothing until you connect it to something that accepts a switch, such as a communication device, a toy, or an interface, so the whole setup matters more than the switch alone.

Switch Skills 1
Est. $40–$90
Switch Skills 1 is a Windows program of simple games that teach a learner to press a switch at the right moment. In Racing Cars, Gorilla, Soccer Shoot and Catch the Crocs, the press has to match what's on screen. Monster House gives an early taste of scanning. The graphics are bright and the activities give audio feedback, so it can suit learners with low vision. It tracks performance and lets you raise the difficulty as skills grow, which makes it a good next step for someone who already presses a switch and is ready to work on timing and control. You'll need a switch that connects to your computer. An OT, SLP or teacher can help choose the right switch, placement and difficulty settings.
