Switch Access to the iPad: Single Shot Mode

Click HERE for the video.
There are many bluetooth interfaces that can be used to set up switch access to the iPad. The APPlicator by Pretorian and Sold by Inclusive TLC allow you the access to single shot. This means no matter how the the switch is pushed/depressed, it only sends one switch activation signal. The user has to come off the switch and press it down again to send another activation signal. This works well for those who, once they touch/activate the switch, need time to come off the switch. ​
The APPlicator by Pretorian can be purchased through Inclusive TLC HERE

Don't Let the Pigeon Run This App 

Use this app in person or reflected on your screen in teletherapy to have a motivating reason for your AAC user to find vocabulary in a variety of categories in their device.

No Hand-Over-Hand

Wait for your device user to make their own selections. We don't take their hand and touch icons. This only teaches passivity and compliance.
