IPad With a Switch

Junior got the switch interface for his ipad a few weeks ago but it took us awhile to get it figured out. The directions were very poor and it wasn't until I called the manufacturer that we figured it out. Now if there were only more switch accessible apps available.

Junior is feeling much better and was ready to give his ipad and switch a try today. We started out
with an app called Tap Sequence. I had recorded one of Junior's Transformers into it and the switch allowed him to turn his own pages. As you can tell by the pics I need to take pics of the actual book so we aren't stuck using the available pics. Junior was so excited to be able to turn the pages all by himself that he didn't mind the nutty pics(though from his expression you can tell he thought they were definitely not what they should be). This race car looks nothing like Bumblebee from Transformers.
Then we tried out Soundingboard. It is a communication app that is switch accessible. This is not the one Junior uses regularly and was not programed for him. We used one of the pre made boards and I explained that he needed to hit his switch when the correct symbol had a box around it. I then walked him through it a few times. This is the very first time he has used this program. After that I pulled up a board for leisure activities and asked him what he wanted to do after his stander.
He used his switch to say " I want to watch tv". I was surprised that being his very first time he did so well and thought that maybe he just hit the switch and that was what it was on. Well I asked him to please tell me just one more time what he wanted. He sat and waited until it scanned back to "I want to watch TV" and quickly hit his switch again. We will work on this for awhile and then move to 2 switch scanning. This will allow him to use one switch to move the box forward and the second switch to make his choice. With one switch scanning he hits the switch to start the scanning and then every 3 seconds(or however long you set it for) the box moves to the next symbol. He clicks his switch when his choice is highlighted.
I then pulled up the yes/no board to have his tell me if he was ready to get down. Not sure what is up with them using a blacked out box for yes but Junior didn't mind. He told me yes several times just to show me he got it. a very proud guy
