Adaptive switches are specialized devices that allow individuals with disabilities to control electronic equipment using alternative methods. These switches can be activated by various actions, such as pressing, tapping, or even using breath or eye movements, making technology more accessible for users with limited mobility. These switches can be connected to a range of devices, including computers, wheelchairs, and communication aids. By customizing the activation method, adaptive switches empower users to interact with their environment, enhancing their independence and improving their quality of life. They are often used in conjunction with assistive technology, such as speech-generating devices or environmental control systems.
