Assessment Switch Kit

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

Professional setup required The kit is only useful when someone knows how to test each switch, where to place it, and how to read the results. Picking the wrong switch, or the wrong spot for it, can waste money and leave a person without a dependable way to communicate or control a device, so it needs a trained evaluator.

What it is

Summary

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

This kit puts a range of different switches in one plastic carrying box so a clinician can try several and see which one a person can use most reliably. The switches work in different ways, including waving a hand near a sensor, tapping a flat pad, pressing a button, moving the chin, and a finger-mounted button. Some give a click or touch cue and some need almost no pressure. This is a tool for the person doing the evaluation, not a switch to hand to a user to keep. You'll still need a device for the switches to control, and the list shown is partial, so check the full contents before ordering.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Open the box and lay out the switches so the evaluator can see the options. Nothing needs charging or installing on its own.
  • With a guide
    Connect the switch you want to try to a switch-accessible device or interface, then check that it triggers the activity.
  • With professional help
    An OT, SLP, or ATP should run the trial. They try different switches in different body positions and locations, watch for reliable and comfortable activation, and decide which switch to buy and where to mount it. Plan on one or more sessions, not a quick try-out.
