PLAY Tip
Teaching switch use to new switch-users!
Teach a new switch user about cause-and-effect by starting with an attractive switch that gives fun feedback itself. Switches that vibrate or play music are reinforcing all by themselves. Good examples are the Musical Bright Plate Switch and the Vibrating Mirror Plate Switch. Once the child understands that their action causes the effect, then you could attach a toy, Mini Fan, AM/FM Radio, Vibrating Pillow, or Tape Player to the switch. The child will soon learn that their touch has a real impact on the world around them!
