Notes:
Quite simply, if a switch is to be effective, the person operating the switch has to know that an action with the switch causes something else to happen. If the client does not understand the relationship between a cause and its effect, then using a switch to operate some kind of communication device is going to fail. Establishing cause and effect is the first step towards becoming a proficient switch user.
The SpringBoard can be configured to allow a client to hit a switch and cause a response from the device, be that a sound, a song, or an instruction. This immediate reinforcement is critical.
