Switch adapted toys

Many children and adults with limited fine and gross motor skills cannot play with regular battery-operated toys.

[1] For children or young people who have profound and extremely limiting physical and intellectual disabilities, operating a switch adapted toy may be the first independent thing they can do, which builds confidence and enjoyment as well as intellectual stimulation and potential learning.

Use of switches depends on the user's muscle tone, spasticity, visual ability, cognitive function and interests.

Switch adapted toys can generate blinking or changing lights and music, speaking, vibration, noises, fans, aromatherapy, massage, songs with number, alphabet or nursery rhyme content and even voice recording and playback.

Some individuals sells these switch adapted items on online through retailers like Etsy, Amazon, and Shopify.
