50+ Ideas for using (Talking) Message Switches

A slightly adapted handout from TalkLink, an Assistive Technology organization in New Zealand.  Lots of ideas for using message switches in fun and real-life ways (not just to answer a question!).

7 Stages of Switch Development

This guide takes you through 7 steps of development, starting with activating a single switch to make something happen, all the way to using two or more switches to control a computer, communication device, or other systems.  There is a cute character and a storybook (available for loan from our office, or for purchase ) to go with each stage.

On the left side of the page, you can choose activities for single-switch use, two switches, learning to use a (regular or adapted) mouse, or activities to use with an eyegaze controller.

This handout briefly explains how to talk to learners about switch use, and gives ideas for using them meaningfully.
