Special Disability Access Switches
Technical Solutions Australia offer a wide range of switches to suit the assistive technology needs of people with a disability - we endeavour to provide switches to meet the access needs of most people. For very specific special needs, we can even modify or custom design a switch to the individual.
The process of finding the best combination of equipment to suit a particular person's needs can be slow. We are happy to share our 25 plus years of experience to get you or your client connected quickly!



Switch Positioning

The effectiveness of a switch is often dependent on the positioning and mounting of the switch. A poorly mounted switch can in some cases make it inaccessible or cause excessive strain for the user.

We can design a mounting system for you! We supply a range of modular mounting systems as well as fabricating custom designs.



Small steps towards independence

The next step towards greater independence for a person with a disability may be the control of multiple devices for various purposes. (communication, environment control, etc.) This can be achieved by various means including:
* Multiple switches if the person is physically able.
* A single switch and an environment control system.
* A single switch and a special Switch Director.
