The Assistive Switch is an adaptive input device designed for individuals with limited hand function or difficulty accurately targeting conventional buttons or switches. It enables users to activate connected devices with minimal and imprecise movements, thereby improving accessibility and ease of use.
The activation surface is designed to provide consistent responsiveness across the switch. Users do not need to press the exact center; activation can also be achieved by pressing the edge or other off-center areas. This feature is particularly beneficial for users with a limited range of motion, reduced motor control, or difficulty performing precise hand movements.
The device is available in two sizes, with diameters of 12.7 cm and 6.5 cm, allowing users to select an appropriate size according to their physical abilities, range of motion, and intended application. It is also compatible with standard smartphone and tablet mounting systems users may already own, enabling flexible positioning and adjustment without requiring a dedicated mounting system.
Through an AUX cable connection, the switch can be connected to a variety of compatible devices, including augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, switch-adapted or modified toys, and scanning systems. This allows the device to support a broad range of activities, such as communication, play, learning, and interaction with digital or assistive devices. Its adaptable design and compatibility with existing equipment enable users to configure the switch according to their individual needs and everyday environments.
