Age Appropriate Switches
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Finding fun age appropriate "cool" devices for switch-using children with special needs between 6 - 12 has always been a challenge. Sport switches are perfect, not too babyish and not too therapeutic!

PLAY Tip
Accessible Art Activities: Art In Living Color!
Children with physical impairments like cerebral palsy can have a lot of trouble finding accessible art activities. Try playing with the switch adapted Gelly Paint'n'Swirl. Name each color as it is added to the picture. The child presses the switch to swirl the colors on the paper. Each colorful creation is unique!
