  1. Master Chef Using iPad Recipes and Other Tools to Increase Access

  2. Learning Objectives • Identify different types of switch interfaces that function with iOS • Explain different modes of switch access and applications • Set up switch access and adjust Accessibility settings in iOS • Set up meaningful activities across various areas of occupation

  8. Alternative to Touchscreen: Great for lots of students • Need highly adapted switch access (ex. Cheek, head, sip/puff) • Have poor finger isolation and do not tolerate supports, orthotics, or stylus • Have poor upper extremity control for hitting a target • Need to read a recipe while their hands are messy! :-)

  9. Tapio (direct connect) • About $113.00 • http://www.orin.com/access/tapio/ • Not for Boardmaker app • iOS only (requires a Lightning to USB connector) • Hook+ Switch Interface • $185 • https://www.ablenetinc.com/hook-switch-interface • Direct connect (Lighting to USB) • Blue2 (bluetooth) • About $185 • https://www.ablenetinc.com/blue2-bluetooth-switch • Works w/Boardmaker • APPLicator (bluetooth) • https://www.inclusivetlc.com/applicator • About $165 • Works with iOS and Android • RJ Cooper Bluetooth Switch Interface • About $184 • https://store.rjcooper.com/products/tablet-super-switch?variant=30053401092 • iOS or Android

  10. Assessment of Switch Access • Determine access point(s) to try, don’t forget positioning! • Cheek/head • Sip/puff • Accessing with hand, but where? What size switch? How much pressure can they apply? • One or two switches? • What needs to be assessed? • Cause and effect • Timing and motor control • Frustration tolerance • Engagement/sensory needs • Client Factors • Motor function (tone, reflexes, strength) • Cognitive function (language, cause/effect) • Visual perceptual needs (may need to adjust settings) • Motivation (communication, sensory input) • Occupations Targeted • Communication • Participating in literacy/academic activities? • Demonstrating knowledge of concepts? • Leisure (can they games they see others playing??)

  11. Do’s and Don’ts of Switch Training Please do these! • Remember that it’s LEARNED • Assume competence • Provide feedback • Use MEANINGFUL activities • Allow opportunities for mistakes • Monitor for boredom and fatigue • Try different switch types and positions • Recognize the purpose of your intervention • Lean to wait!! Don’t do these! • Only try switch access with one activity • Assume that mistakes in activation mean they don’t understand • Think that the same switch placement will work every time • Assume that activation should be automatic • Feel like you need to take data every time • Work on switch access when you’re feeling rushed • Prompt with “hit the switch” http://lindaburkhart.com/

  12. Switch Training: One Switch vs. Two Switch One Switch • Auto Scanning (Scanning continues until the switch is pressed), NOT ALWAYS EASIER THAN TWO SWITCH MANUAL SCANNING • Set up one iPad recipe to complete the same movement until it is changed Two Switches • Must have two reliable access points and ability to choose between functions • Can use one switch to scan manually and one to select • Could have one connected to a recipe and a second switch performing another function

  13. Accessing an iPad with a Switch • Scanning • Auto scanning vs. manual scanning • Manual scanning requires a “move to next item” switch • Point Scanning • Using “Crosshairs” to activate a certain location on the screen • Might be frustrating and confusing for a lot of students • iPad “Recipes” • Using a switch to complete a pre-programmed “gesture” (ex. a swipe across the screen, touch a button in a certain app) • Great for access apps that aren’t created with switch use in mind

  14. Adding a Switch in iOS External: Choose a Bluetooth switch or Made for iPhone/iPad switch. Screen: Tap the screen to use a switch or press and hold. Camera: Move your head to use the iPhone front-facing camera as a switch. You can use the camera as two switches: One when you move your head to the left, and the other when you move your head to the right. • Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Switches > Add New Switch

  15. AOTA’s Areas of Occupation • ADLs • IADLs • Rest and Sleep • Education • Work • Leisure • Social Participation

  16. Communication and AAC • TouchChat • Can access scanning through iOS • ProLoQuo2Go • Switch settings inside the app • https://www.assistiveware.com/support/proloquo2go/customize-for-alternative-access/configure-a-switch-interface-for-use-with-proloquo2go • Boardmaker • Switch/access settings inside the app • Requires a bluetooth switch interface (per Boardmaker tech support)

  17. How to set up a “recipe” • Decide what app you’re using and what they need to do • Figure out what the “gesture” is going to be • Use visual supports (ex. Small stickers) to mark where taps, swipes, etc. need to occur

  18. Communication and Literacy -iPad recipe for hitting the “next” button in boardmaker -using Tapio switch interface (direct connect) -since this is using an iOS feature (the recipe), can use a Tapio even though they don’t work with Boardmaker features

  19. Leisure and Games -using BLUE2 switch interface -uses an iPad recipe to swipe across the screen -She is playing “Crazy Knife Dash”
