Switches

Aroga carries a wide variety of switches, which come in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on the action used to activate them (such as sip-puff, pushing, pulling or squeezing). Switches also vary in their colour and aesthetics and, for push switches, the amount of force required to operate them. A switch can be operated by any suitable body part that is able to produce consistent and voluntary movement. Switches can be suitable for people with cognitive difficulties and developmental delays as they are a clear and simple tool to demonstrate action/reaction. Consequently, the activities the switch is accessing also need to be clear and simple. There are a variety of motivating switch activities that can be used to assess and develop a person's understanding of choice and timing.
