Professional guidance helps The SEND-6 itself is simple to connect and needs no drivers. But it's only one part of a switch setup. Picking the right switches, placing them so the person can use them reliably, and deciding which of the 24 functions to assign to each one all go better with a therapist or AT professional. A family could figure it out alone, but the results are usually much better with expert input.

What it is

Summary

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

The SEND-6 is a wireless switch interface. You plug up to six wired switches into it, and it sends their signals to a Windows PC or Mac without a cable running to the computer. That helps if someone's wheelchair puts them away from the screen, or if they can't sit close to the computer. Each switch can be set separately to one of 24 functions, including switch accessible software, game pad, mouse and keyboard actions. It needs no software or drivers, so setup is mostly about choosing which switch does what. It's one piece of a switch system: you need your own switches, the it-Receive receiver that plugs into the computer, and 2 AAA batteries.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    1. Put in the 2 AAA batteries and plug your switches into the SEND-6.
    2. Plug the it-Receive into the computer. No software or drivers are needed.
  • With a guide
    1. Program each switch to the action you want, such as a mouse click, a key press, a game pad button or a switch software command. Try each one with the software the person will actually use.
    2. Expect about 30 to 60 minutes to set up and test. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
  • With professional help
    An OT, SLP or ATP can help choose the right switches and where to place them. They can also match each switch to a reliable action and plan how the person will learn to use it. Plan on one or more sessions.
