Switch / Touch Screen 'Videos'
Switch videos are animations or slideshows set to music, which can be controlled by a range of common assistive access devices. They are designed to help children understand and generalise cause and effect (the action / reaction bond), one of the foundation stones for early learning. All of the videos can be played online or downloaded for use on a PC or Macintosh computer.

Making Your Own 'Switch Videos'
All of the switch videos on our web site are created using Macromedia Flash MX.
Flash is a multimedia authoring program similar to MS Powerpoint or Opus, both of which can be used to create similar applications. Our use of Flash reflects our need to make applications which are both portable (MAC & PC) and capable of being run live on the web.
