Description of CE Program/Activity
 Switches can enable children with disabilities to have interesting sensory experiences, activate toys, and access computers. During this class we will look at how to make a simple cause and effect switch with a vibration or sound item.We will offer the opportunity to make a switch with a plug that can be used in conjunction with a variety of toys, and we will modify toys so that users can use a large switch rather than the manufacturers buttons to activate them.
