As a learning centre teacher, I know that it is inevitable that I will eventually have a student who will need to access technology and learning using a single switch. So far, I have not had that experience. I am also a high school teacher, so often, some of the AT and accessories being used by a student have already been implemented before I meet the student, so my role is more of a review of the AT being used and whether or not there have been changes to the situation, such as mobility, environment, or demeanor or updated technologies that may result in the need to find another device, or a different way to mount the switch, or a new unique way of getting the user access to the curriculum depending on the situation/changes.
An interesting site I found was all about video gaming and switch access to this fun technology and hobby.
It made me think a little but more about our need to not just help students access the curriculum and learning, but also to help them to find activities that they can enjoy independently. We all need our fun and relaxation. This site is titled "Switch Gaming - Accessible Video Games". It lists online switch games, games that are free to download for gamers, and even instructions on how to create your own switch games! Here is a good tip and instruction video about Switch access and applicable software for access the computer and internet.
