2 different switches can be used so children with varying abilities can play together. Battery Interrupter or Battery Adapter Enables a battery-operated device to be activated by a switch. Copper head fits snugly into battery compartment. Sometimes difficult to use- often slips out of moving devices or the battery compartment is too tight to fit one in. Easily converts switch plugs.
Adapters connect incompatible plug and sock sizes.
Instead, users activate the switch by moving an object or body part within the set range of the switch. No fine motor skills are required. In contrast to electronic switch components, mechanical switches rely upon a moving part for switch activation. Direct pressure is also required to activate a mechanical switch. Many times a person with a disability will not be able to consistently operate a mechanical switch, but will be able to operate an electronic switch for this very reason.
