Typical price range, not a vendor quote. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Professional guidance helps The switch itself is simple to plug in, but it only helps once it is paired with the right device or software, placed where the user can press it reliably, and matched to a goal. A therapist or assistive technology professional can make those choices much better than trial and error. Many families can manage with some guidance, but expert input is likely to give much better results.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

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.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Plug the 3.5mm cable into a switch-compatible device or interface, then press the switch to test it.
  • With a guide
    1. Make a symbol or picture at the suggested size (15mm square for the small switch, 25mm square for the medium), unscrew the clear cap, place the image, and screw the cap back on.
    2. Fix the switch in place with adhesive, Velcro-type fasteners, or a switch mounting solution so it sits where the user can reach it comfortably. Allow 15-30 minutes.
  • With professional help
    An OT, SLP, or ATP can help choose the small or medium size, find the best position and mounting, and match the switch to the software or device it will control. A first session usually takes about an hour.
