Only PD and SENict Supporters can download these versions of our activities which have been designed to help your students develop choosing skills with one or two switches. There's more information about becoming a supporter here.

If you plan to use these activities to teach switch skills, you will need a switch interface set to send <SPACE> for switch 1 and <Enter> for switch 2. Our activities for two switch users will not work with switch interfaces that send mouse clicks. If you're not sure how to set up your switch interface, please use the contact form and let me know which switch interface you are currently using. For more general information about teaching switch skills toward formal scanning, please refer to the support materials in our PD Centre.

To ensure our website runs smoothly for everyone, queued downloads are currently queued. Please take care to download activities one at a time. If you would rather save time, we can supply all 600+ of our activities including our library of choosing activities on a memory stick together with support and training files.

Activities in the section below have been updated to include a new 'empty cell' switch method. Choose this feature from the one or two switch scanning menu.

After mastering 'errorless' scanning activities, some children need additional support as they move from there to finding and selecting specific cells. This can be provided by presenting rows of options which contain empty cells. As the row is scanned empty cells are announced with "nothing here" and no reward is provided for choosing them. If the student selects the correct 'filled' cell, a reward is played in the usual way. Removing the visual clutter and providing clear auditory cues provides the scaffolded support a student might need to achieve formal scanning.

These activities also support one and two switch errorless scanning with or without spoken auditory prompts, plus configurable touch, pointing device and eye gaze access.

These activities are designed for two switch users and are ideal to help teach the 'move and choose' principle. A single item is presented on the screen. Pressing the 'move' switch will change this item for another. Pressing the 'choose' switch will select the item on screen and play the associated reward.

PD Supporters: These activities contribute to progress at the following levels of access skills progression.

These activities are designed to help students differentiate between the actions of two switches. Select switch colours, attach an activity to each switch and start the program. Pressing switch one plays reward one, pressing switch two plays reward two. Files are zipped and include a full set of switch cap labels to print for both large and 'Jelly Bean' size switches.
