Finding the best switch solution for AAC or other technology can be challenging. Each of us have unique needs and what may be the best switch for one person isn’t necessarily the best for someone else.
To find the best switch for an individual, you need to consider many factors including the person’s physical needs and position. The size of the switch can be important as can the amount of effort needed to press or activate the switch.
A switch doesn’t have to be one you press either. There are alternative switch options for people who may find it difficult to press a ‘traditional’ switch and it’s important to consider these too.
The GlassOuse range of switches offer a number of alternatives to ‘traditional’ switches, which are not only compatible with GlassOuse Pro and Link but also with other AAC devices and technology.
By considering the many ways we can activate a switch, GlassOuse has created a range of solutions including:
- Blink Switch
- Bite Switch
- Cheek switch
- Finger switch
- Foot switch
- Muscle Switch
- Proximity Switch
- Pillow Switch
- Puff Switch
When considering switch access for technology or AAC, make sure to discuss GlassOuse with your Regional Consultant who can advise on alternative switch options to ensure maximum success with minimum effort.
When using switches to access technology it can be challenging to switch between devices without having to change switches or reattach them to new devices.
GlassOuse Link takes the hassle out of changing devices when using switches – as detailed here.
