Understanding Switch Toys and Switch Adapted Toys: Enhancing Play for All Children

Switch Adapted Toys

Our switch adapted toys are adapted to allow individuals with physical disabilities the opportunity to play and learn as independently as possible. With the use of a switch, a person with disabilities can be an active participant in fun, meaningful accessible activities. Our adapted toys and switches are interchangeable and compatible with most toys and switches sold by other companies. Our goal is to provide affordable switch adapted toys that teach social skills, cause & effect, language, and sensory awareness through playing and interacting with the environment.
