"My Switch Games Scott McKay" Six very simple online games designed for single switch users

"Switch-activated software that lets you make slideshows and sequences of pictures, videos and sounds for use with one or two switches."

"Switch videos are animations or slideshows set to music, which can be controlled by a range of common assistive access devices. They are designed to help children understand and generalise cause and effect (the action / reaction bond), one of the foundation stones for early learning. The videos can be played online or downloaded for use on a PC or Macintosh computer."

This is the updated web addsress for the wonderful and highly entertaining Priory Woods videos. Farting Dinosaurs is my personal favorite.

"After using Priory Woods videos with students I felt that they could be improved by making them stop after a few seconds and getting the student to press their mouse or switch to continue. I have combined 3 movies into one activity for students to make choices. Also I have removed the choice of switch or touch screen menu so students can use activities without assistance."

"Free Single Switch Software Sites"

"Welcome to our free switch accessible games and demos area. Play the games online in your browser. You can download stand-alone versions of some games for Windows to play offline."

"Up until recently, I have been happily using Delicious to store, organise and share my favourite links. With the Internet Explorer Delicious add-on, I found it so simple to store sites as I browsed the net. In addition, searching Delicious for websites often gave me more reliable results than mainstream search engines. This was until my teacher friend Linda Yollis suggested I try Diigo. As a ex-Delicious user, she made the switch after discovering the impressive features that Diigo offers. After I "took the tour" of Diigo, I made the switch too."

Ian Bean's website with switch resources and much more

"Several companies have announced new ways for those with physical or multiple disabilities to access the iPod and iPad. Here is the list of what is currently on the market."

"ScanBuddy initially divides the entire screen into two sections, the top half and bottom half, and then offers them to you one at a time. Once you pick, for example, the bottom half of the screen, then ScanBuddy divides the selected bottom section into two sections again, the left half (lower left quarter of the entire screen), and the right section (bottom right quarter of the entire screen), and offers those to you one at a time until you operate your switch again to indicate which of those two sections contains the target location. By dividing the screen up into sections you effectively reduce the screen to a more manageable size."
