The pillow switch by Ablenet is a specialized device that has been developed to support people living with impaired mobility. The switch allows the individual to operate electronic devices such as computers or communication aids by pressing on a soft, pressure-sensitive pad that is suitable for activation by the head or cheek. When the switch is activated, auditory and tactile feedback is given to help associate and encourage use.
The switch has a wired connection and features a cord measuring 5 feet in length with a 3.5mm connector. Measuring 3.35L x 3.35W x 0.95 H, the switch is compact enough for easy storage. The portable pad can also be attached to a wheelchair or pillow, allowing for comfort and convenience wherever you may need it.
The pillow switch is also designed to be durable and easy to clean, ensuring that it can withstand the wear and tear of daily use. It is covered with a comfortable yet resistant material that can be removed and washed as needed.
Designed with comfort, accessibility, and durability in mind, the pediatric assistive technology pillow switch is designed to aid individuals with limited mobility to engage more fully with daily activities and improve quality of life.
