What is the Jelly Bean Switch?

The Jelly Bean Switch is a reliable, medium-sized button switch for users who need an easier way to access compatible assistive technology. With its 65mm activation area and 70g activation force, it gives a clear, manageable target for users who can press with a light to moderate touch.

Each activation gives tactile feedback and an audible click, helping the user and supporting adults know when the switch has been pressed. The switch can be used with compatible communication aids, AAC devices, adapted toys, screen-scanning software and environmental control equipment, supporting communication, choice-making, cause and effect learning, scanning and accessible play.

The switch includes red, blue, yellow and green interchangeable tops, making it easy to choose a colour for contrast, preference or different activities. A clear snap cap is also included, so you can add a symbol, photo or word to show what the switch will do.

How It Can Be Used

How It Can Be Used

The Jelly Bean Switch is a useful starting point for learners who are developing switch skills and can press a medium-sized target. It can be connected to compatible toys, software or devices so the user can learn that one clear press creates a response, such as playing a sound, starting an animation or turning on an adapted toy.

For communication, it can be used with compatible AAC devices or scanning systems to help a user make choices or select messages. For example, a learner might press the switch to choose between two activities, join in with a repeated line in a story or take their turn during a group task.

The clear snap cap is helpful when the switch has a specific purpose. You can place a symbol, photo or word under the cap, such as “more”, “go”, “music” or “stop”, so the user and supporting adults can see what the switch is being used for in that activity.
