Teaching switch use to new switch-users!

Teach a new switch user about cause-and-effect by starting with an attractive switch that gives fun feedback itself. Switches that vibrate or play music are reinforcing all by themselves.

The child will soon learn that their touch has a real impact on the world around them!
