Professional guidance helps The unit itself is simple to plug in, but it only helps when it is matched with the right switch, a device to control, and a plan for how the learner will use it. For a learner with multiple disabilities, a specialist's input on switch choice, positioning, and goals makes a big difference. A family could manage the setup alone, so a professional is recommended, not required.

What it is

Summary

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

The Power Select is an environmental control unit, a box that lets someone switch an electrical device on or off, such as a fan or a light, with an adapted switch instead of reaching for a standard plug or control. It is sold as a replacement piece for the Sensory Learning Kit, so it is meant to work inside that kit rather than as a stand-alone product. It suits a learner with multiple disabilities who is building cause-and-effect skills through hands-on play. Instruction booklets are provided as downloads in English and Spanish.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Download and read the instruction booklet (English or Spanish) before plugging anything in.
  • With a guide
    Connect the unit to the Sensory Learning Kit's switch and the device you want it to control, following the booklet. Allow about 15-30 minutes to try it out.
  • With professional help
    A teacher of students with visual impairments, an OT, or an ATP can choose the right switch and placement and plan how the learner will use it. A first session of 30-60 minutes is typical.
