Learners who use switches to access a computer need a range of software in order to motivate them to develop their ability to use switches. The computer can also give them relative independence in learning new concepts. The SwitchIt! series from Inclusive Technology is designed to help switch users develop and demonstrate understanding of language concepts, as well as develop their ability to use switches.
SwitchIt! Gadgets has been designed to develop and demonstrate understanding of cause-and-effect through pressing a switch (or other input device) to build a scene. Animated rewards motivate success.
Settings, or preferences, can be saved and loaded at any time for use by a particular user.
