What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
The Twin SLAT sits between one or two access switches and low-voltage battery toys or appliances, and it changes how a switch press controls them. It has two independent channels and eight modes. The modes include direct (on only while pressed), latched (press once for on, again for off), timed, and co-operative modes where two people must both press before anything happens. Timed settings run from 5 seconds up to 1 hour, set on a two-digit LED display, and a button lets you cancel a timed run early. It's a good fit for teaching cause and effect, turn-taking, and timing, or for giving someone a way to run a toy or small appliance with the kind of switch press that works for them. This is a control box, not a standalone toy: you'll need your own switches and the toy or appliance to connect.

What setup looks like
- Out of the box
- Plug your switch or switches into the input sockets and connect the toy or appliance to the output.
- Choose a mode and, for timed modes, set the time on the LED display.
- With a guide
- Try each mode with the person using it to see which one matches how they press a switch, such as direct for early cause-and-effect or latched for someone who can't hold a press.
- Set the timing so it's long enough to be rewarding but short enough to keep attention. Plan on 20 to 30 minutes to learn the modes. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
An OT, SLP, or ATP can pick the right mode and switch type, and set up co-operative or on/off modes for teaching goals. Allow one session to match the mode, switch, and timing to the person.
