Aids for Daily Living: Teaching How To Turn Lights On
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Play can be serious business as the Light Bulb & Switch demonstrates. Before trying to teach how to control lighting with a regular switch on the wall try working with this training device on a table top. It can help teach that up means on and down means off as well as the fine motor skills needed to activate a regular sized wall switch.

Speech Language Therapy: Controlling Vocalizations
Children who have had trach tubes or who have trouble controlling vocalization can practice making louder and softer sounds - and be rewarded for it! Just add one of the fun switch adapted toys, and watch your child work hard for the playful payoff. You can adjust the Voice Activated Switch to pick the exact activation sound desired. Specialized software such as the Visual Voice Tools help too!
