What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
SwitchIt! Farm Extra is Windows software that uses farm scenes to teach cause and effect, early choice-making, and language. It has four activity types: five-step animated sequences of farm routines, picture-building with animated rewards, flash cards with spoken text, and a picture menu where a learner picks a scene from a list the teacher sets up. You can adjust the steps and the timing of rewards, and save settings for each learner. It works with one or two switches, a touch screen, a mouse, IntelliKeys or a Concept Keyboard. A bundle of printable worksheets and tactile braille worksheets is included, but the braille pages need swell paper and a heat fuser to print.

What setup looks like
- Out of the box
Install the software on a Windows computer after it arrives by email, which takes 2-3 working days. Then use the mouse or a touch screen to try the flash cards or picture-building activities. - With a guide
Connect your learner's switch or other input device and choose the matching access option in the program. Set the number of steps and the reward timing, then save a profile for that learner. Plan on 20-30 minutes. - With professional help
An OT, SLP, or teacher experienced in switch access can help choose the right switch, placement, and settings, and plan how to build from cause and effect toward choice-making. Plan a short session, then review as the learner progresses.
