What is the Buddy Button IC?

The Buddy Button IC is a practical switch access button for communication, learning, play and environmental control. It can be used with compatible AAC devices, adapted toys, learning devices and environmental control units, making it suitable for classrooms, therapy sessions and home activities.

The 64mm activation surface gives users a clear target to press, while tactile and auditory feedback helps confirm when the switch has been activated. This can support cause and effect activities, choice-making, turn-taking and access to switch-controlled equipment.

The Buddy Button IC includes interchangeable coloured tops, which can be useful for colour coding, visual contrast or identifying different switches in a setup. The tops can be locked in place to help prevent accidental removal and released using the supplied tool.

For users who need the switch positioned in a specific place, the Buddy Button IC can also be used with suitable mounting solutions.
