Sophie's Switch Accessible Toys

Image of Sophie Patmore using her switch adapted Thomas the Tank Engine set. A large helium balloon is tied to the train to make it more fun to use.
Close up of Sophie's set-up of two accessibility switches connected to a remote control unit. One to GO and one to STOP.

Image of Sophie and her Dad squirting something (or someone) off picture with a switch accessible water pistol he adapted for her.The pictures have been re-published here thanks to Sophie Patmore's Mum and Dad from their truly lovely web-site, The Sophie Story.

Sophie's Mum bought a switch adapted Gazillion Bubbles Machine from me a while back, which I was really happy to learn that Sophie loved. Later, Sophie's Dad tracked down and switch adapted a water pistol himself (a Saturator AK47 from the looks of it). Most recently, they asked me to adapt a Thomas the Tank Engine train-set for switches, which you can see Sophie using above.

It does make me very happy to see this kind of stuff finding such a good home. Click on the pictures for more.
