Everything About Switches
One Switch, One Head, the World - Christopher Hills


 * Electricity, Toys, and Switches - "All Lab - No Lecture"
 * Make Switches
 * Adapt Toys, Computer Mice, Game Controllers
 * Switch sites (intentionality, apraxia, tone)

 * Scanning - can we get 2 switches? (2 is much better than 1)

 * Resources:
 * Switch Progression Road Map - downloadable booklet published by a UK-based company, Inclusive Technology. A little dated, and references mostly Inclusive's own software and hardware, but still very useful as a collection of switch-user skills, and techniques to help develop them which can easily be adapted for available software and hardware.
 * [|Linda Burkhart] has very useful notes for working with switch users. Also, if you ever get a chance to attend one of her workshops, grab it! She is awesome.
 * DIY Switch-Adapted Mouse How-to shows how to add a left-click external switch to a USB mouse.
