What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This is a flexible arm mount, approximately 60cm long, designed to position switches in an accessible location for users who can't reach a standard tabletop setup. It clamps onto a table edge, wheelchair tray, or similar surface using the included Super Clamp, letting a caregiver or therapist angle the switch toward the user's most reliable body movement — a hand, elbow, or head. This is one piece of a larger system: you'll also need a compatible mounting plate (sold separately) and, of course, a switch to attach to it. It's described as light-duty and suited for temporary or low-frequency use, so users who rely heavily on a switch throughout the day — or need a very specific, stable position — may want to consider a heavier-duty mounting arm instead.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
- Clamp the Super Clamp to a table edge or tray surface.
- Adjust the arm to position the switch mounting plate within reach of the user.
- With a guide
- Purchase and attach the appropriate mounting plate for your specific switch model (plate sold separately).
- Attach the switch to the plate and test positioning before the user's session — allow 15–20 minutes for initial setup and adjustment.
- See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
- An occupational therapist (OT) or assistive technology professional (ATP) should assess the user's optimal switch site and determine the correct arm angle and height.
- Switch site assessment typically takes one session; reassessment is recommended as the user's positioning or needs change.
