Sensory Eye FX 2
Price on request: ask the vendor
Sensory Eye FX 2 is software that teaches and practices eye gaze control through visual, exploratory activities. The activities run across five levels that get harder step by step, building the early skills behind eye gaze use: engaging with the screen, interacting, and focusing. Clinicians can personalize it and record a client's eye movements during an assessment, which helps them see signs of progress over time. It's meant for people of any age who are learning eye gaze access, and it needs eye tracking hardware to work (see below).

$149.95

Textured Orbit Ball Switch
$149.95
The Textured Orbit Ball Switch is a bumpy, colorful ball that responds when touched with glowing rainbow lights, music, and a gentle vibration. It's meant to draw a child into touching and exploring it, and it also works as a plain switch for activating other devices. A hidden control on the bottom lets you turn the light, sound, and vibration on or off in any combination, so you can keep the sensory feedback simple or dial it down. It runs on 2 AA batteries, and the music may differ from what's shown. Because it's both a sensory toy and a switch, the best way to use it depends on the person's reach, touch response, and goals.

Textured Plate Switches
$142.95

You plug them into a switch-adaptive toy, device, or interface, because a switch does nothing on its own. They don't need batteries.

Textured Roller Switch
$219.95
The Textured Roller Switch has a drum with a textured surface that someone spins to set off lights, music, and vibration.

It measures 11 by 4.5 inches, weighs about 1.75 pounds, and runs on 4 AA batteries. The music can vary from one unit to the next, and the roller is a sensory activity rather than a way to run another device.
