Switches are often used as communication devices for non-verbal (or non-speaking) kids.
Etsy has a few shops, like SwitchedHands and AccessForAll, specializing in switch-adapted toys. In addition to recording voices, switches can plug into toys to turn their internal switch on or off, allowing your child to control the toy. Depending on the toy, your child can use switches to turn on a bubble machine, play a song, or watch a toy dance! If you’re wondering if your child might benefit from switch-adapted toys, you may consider meeting with a speech-language pathologist.
