SwitchIt! Bob The Builder

by Inclusive Technology

Est. $30–$80, see price history

Typical price range, not a vendor quote. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions Once installed, the program is simple to run. But someone has to install it from an emailed download, connect and test a switch, and set the number of presses for the learner. A parent or teacher can do this with written instructions, so it fits guided setup. Choosing the right switch and position for a child may still be worth a therapist's input.

What it is

Summary

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

This Windows software gives learners a set of switch-activated activities built around Bob the Builder characters, such as Bob, Wendy, Spud and Scoop. It has three kinds of activity: flash cards that show a picture and speak the word when a switch is pressed, picture builds that assemble a character step by step and end in an animated reward, and short animated stories that move forward one press at a time with pauses for talking. It is meant for children who are learning basic switch skills like cause and effect, timing, and sequencing, and it works with one or two switches. You can change how many presses each step needs, so the pace can match the learner. You'll need a switch and a way to connect it to the computer, such as a switch interface, and it only runs on Windows.

What setup looks like

  • With a guide
    1. Install the software on your Windows computer using the files sent by email (the vendor says delivery takes 2-3 working days).
    2. Connect your switch or switches to the computer and check that a press works in the program.
    3. Choose an activity and set how many presses each step needs so the learner can succeed. Plan on about 30 minutes. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
