In my first exploration of assistive technology, I was introduced to this piece of equipment called PowerLink 3. It is referred to as a "Single Switch" because it allows students with mobility issues to turn devices on and off with the big yellow button you see in the picture. I was told that this device enables students to participate in class more especially in Family Studies. Through using this device, students can turn a mixer or blender, for example, on or off as needed with a single switch. This increases students independence and helps them to learn valuable life skills.
