Switch adapted toys
open-in-new
<p>Switch adapted toys are <a href="/facts/Toy/7UR9xrJ9">toys</a> or devices which have been adapted so that their original <a href="/facts/Switch/vqbNDgYm">switches</a> are redirected to a larger external switch that is easier for the user to interact with. Many children and adults with limited fine and gross motor skills cannot play with regular <a href="/facts/Battery_(electricity)/bqEpm4ue">battery</a>-operated toys. </p> <p>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. </p>
