Using Switches...Thoughts and Ideas

http://www.pacer.org/parent/php/PHP-c135.pdf

The types of disabilities and challenges using switches can address are communication, participation, hand-eye coordination, learning various skills in an alternative way, inclusion, and limited fine motor skills. For my students that use switches it means their quality of life is increased by enabling them to participate in activities and conversations they otherwise would not be a part of. To me this is extremely important, not only for the students using the switches, but for the others as well. I feel that it teaches them compassion and acceptance.
