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

Setup with instructions A family member or teacher can install this and set it up by following the instructions in about half an hour. The extra work is connecting the right access method, like switches, and choosing settings that suit the learner, so guided setup fits better than a plug-and-play product. An OT or teacher can help pick the best access method, but the software itself doesn't need a professional.

What it is

Summary

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

SwitchIt! People Extra is a Windows program that teaches about people who help us, such as community helpers, through simple cause-and-effect activities. Learners can watch twelve five-step animations, build a scene and see it come to life, or flip through large themed flash cards. It works with one or two switches, a touch screen, a mouse, IntelliKeys or a Concept Keyboard, so it fits learners who can't use a standard keyboard. A picture menu lets non-readers pick activities on their own, and you can set the number of steps and how long the animated rewards last. Each learner can have saved preferences, and the package adds printable worksheets, including braille ones meant for swell paper.

What setup looks like

  • With a guide
    1. Install the program on a Windows computer. It is delivered by email, which can take 2-3 working days.
    2. Connect the learner's access method, such as one or two switches (usually through a switch interface), a touch screen, a mouse, IntelliKeys or a Concept Keyboard.
    3. Choose the number of steps per activity and how long the animated rewards run, then save these settings for that learner. Plan on about 30 minutes to get comfortable. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
