What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
The iClick is a wireless environmental control unit that lets an iPad (via a companion app) turn two plugged-in electrical appliances on and off — a fan, a light, a blender, a toy, or virtually any mains-powered device. It's designed for people who have difficulty operating physical switches or controls directly, including those who can only interact through iOS Switch Control or an external switch like the it-Switch. The package includes the wireless controller with two UK-style power sockets and access to the free iClick app; the iPad and any external switches are not included. The cooperative mode, which requires two users to activate together, makes this particularly interesting for classroom or therapy settings where social engagement is a goal alongside access.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
- Plug electrical devices into the two sockets on the iClick unit.
- Download the free iClick app from the App Store and pair the unit with the iPad.
- With a guide
- Configure the desired control mode (Direct, Latching, Timed, Cooperative, On/Off) in the app to match the user's access needs and therapy goals.
- If using an external switch (e.g., it-Switch), pair it with the iPad via iOS Switch Control settings — allow 20–30 minutes for initial configuration. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
- An occupational therapist (OT) or AT specialist should assess the user's best access method (touch, switch scanning, cooperative activation) and configure iPad Switch Control and iClick modes accordingly.
- Allow 1–2 sessions to trial modes and determine which appliances and interaction patterns best support cause-and-effect learning or independent control goals.
