Switch Selection Guide
AbleNet offers a broad array of switch technology options to meet the wide-ranging needs of persons with disabilities. Choose single switches from this guide for simple on/off input or one-click functionality. Dual switches offer two distinct switch clicks when used with compatible devices.
Specialty Switches
Specialty switches offer unique features and/or activation methods and are useful for individuals with severely limited motor abilities.
When choosing a switch, consider where it will be positioned, how it will be accessed, and what type of use it will endure. For example, switches with a low activation force or travel will be more sensitive than those with higher ratings in these same areas.
For additional information please contact your local reseller.
