Play Tip!
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 model 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 switch.

PLAY Tip
Language Comprehension with Switch Adapted Boom Boxes
To encourage language comprehension in children with special needs, try recording simple stories on tape and then let the child use his or her switch to independently activate any of the Switch Adapted Boom Boxes or Tape Decks and hear the story told to them in a familiar voice. Vary the stories with lots of music too!
