Does anyone have experience with the NeuroSwitch?

If yes, can it be used by those with no perceptible movements?

How do you get a demo?

Subject: Re: [Assistive Technology] switch adapted lifelines?

Yes, we use switch adapted Lifelines.  There are many "I've fallen and can't get up" emergency call companies, but some do not offer switch adaptations.  When we are setting up a PALS for Lifeline services, we always ask if the company can do switch access if necessary and if they can't, we try to find another company.  The switch adaptation is basically a box that either attaches to a wheelchair, bed, or the person and the switch is plugged into the box.  The receiver box has a 1/8 in jack so any switch will work.

Hope that helps.

	Has anyone ever seen a switch adapted lifeline (or something similar)? Seems like it would be a great idea for our PALS! Thanks for any suggestions.
