Switch+Adapter

 Our switch adapter was designed for a primary level TMD student who may have difficulty with fine motor skills. The original switch on the toy dog was very small and would certainly be difficult for any child who struggles with their fine motor skills. We were able to create a new switch for the dog that is much larger and easier for a child to operate. While talking with Keeth Elementary School's primary level TMD teacher, Mary Thurston, "Switch adapters provide a sense of new found confidence that is incredibly important for any child, let alone a child who struggles as it is. With a switch adapter, a child is suddenly able to operate a toy on their own simply because they feel like it. It is a wonderful thing to observe."
