Switch Control
Switch Control
Switch Control lets you control iPad using a single switch, or multiple switches.
Use any of several methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping,
dragging, typing, invoking multitasking options on iPads that support them, and
even free-hand drawing. The basic technique is to use a switch to select an item
or location on the screen, and then use the same (or different) switch to choose
an action to perform on that item or location. Three basic methods are:
Item scanning (default), which highlights different items on the screen until
you select one.
Point scanning, which lets you use scanning crosshairs to pick a screen
location.
Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires
multiple switches).
Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a
group), a menu appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (tap,
drag, or pinch, for example).
If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specific
action and customize your item selection method. For example, instead of
automatically scanning screen items, you can set up switches to move to the
next or previous item on demand.
You can adjust the behavior of Switch Control in a variety of ways, to suit your
specific needs and style.
Add a switch and turn on Switch Control
You can use any of these as a switch:
An external adaptive switch: Choose from a variety of popular USB or
Bluetooth switches.
The iPad screen: Tap the screen to trigger the switch.
The iPad FaceTime camera: Move your head to trigger the 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.
Add a switch and choose its action.
Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Switches. If you use
only one switch, it is your Select Item switch by default.
If you’re adding an external switch, you need to connect it to iPad before it will
appear in the list of available switches. Follow the instructions that came with
the switch. If it connects using Bluetooth, you need to pair it with iPad—turn on
