25
Access may be | direct, such as _______________, or indirect, such as ___________________
buttons on a speech-generating device or a computer keyboard switches, joysticks, mice, or voice
26
efficiency is measured in terms of ______________
speed, accuracy, and effort
27
Factors to be considered when determining optimal location for a switch.
Positioning, switch activation with a small movement, switch activation by a volitional movement, switch activation by an isolated movement, controlled activation, sustained contact, controlled release
28
Hierarchy of switch locations
Hands, head, mouth, feed, other LE locations, other UE locations, mind
29
A flat surface that is depressed to activate the switch
Plate
30
A flat surface that is depressed to activate the switch; requires less pressure than the Plate switch.
Light touch plate
31
This switch is bent in any direction to activate
Lever
32
A change in air pressure activates the switch. This may | be a sip or puff. Some of these are dual switches
Pneumatic
33
Tipping the switch allows a drop of mercury to make contact, make the connection, and activate the switch
Mercury
34
This is activated by a body part coming within an adjustable range. Inanimate objects will not activate capacity switches
Proximity (capacity)
35
An object that enters the beam of light activates the switch by reflecting the beam back. This switch is designed for very small movements.
Fiber-optic (visible light)
36
Breaking the beam of light activates the switch. This | switch is designed for larger movements
Infrared (invisible light)
37
The skin is conductive and completes the circuit to activate the switch.
Touch
38
This switch picks up electrical impulses from the muscle (small movements), which activates the switch. This type of switch requires careful placement and frequent calibration.
Sensor
39
Breaking the beam of light activates the switch. This | switch is designed for larger movements.
Photcell/photoelectric (visible light)
40
Increased sound volume activates the switch
Sound activated
41
This switch is activated by vibration, such as small | movements and even the force of one’s breath.
Piezo Electric Film (detects vibration)
42
Breaking the beam of light activates the switch. This | switch is designed for larger movements.
Ultrasonic (invisible light)
43
This switch is activated by a combination of muscle movement and EEG readings, or just EEG readings. It is worn on the forehead.
Mind switch (bioelectrical)
44
7 principles of universal design
equitable use, flexibility, in use, simple and intuitive use, perceptible information, tolerance for error, low physical effort, size and space for approach and use
45
The design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities.
Equitable use
46
The design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities.
Flexibility in use
47
Use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the user’s experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level.
Simple and intuitive use
48
The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user’s sensory abilities.
Perceptible information
49
The design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions.
Tolerance for error
50
The design can be used efficiently and comfortably and with a minimum of fatigue.
Low physical effort
51
Appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use regardless of user’s body size, posture, or mobility.
Size and space for approach and use
52
The keyboard appears on the screen and can be accessed for typing through cursor control (point and click) or through the use of a touch screen display.
On-screen keyboard
53
Prevents keystrokes that occur in rapid succession or keys that are depressed and held for an extended time.
Filter keys
54
Keys that need to be depressed simultaneously for shortcut functions can be depressed in sequence and “stuck together” to allow single digit operation.
Sticky keys
55
Allows increased time to press and remove finger from key; also filters out unintentional keystrokes.
Slow keys
56
Mouse keys allow the client to control the cursor with arrow keys or the numeric keypad. The cursor’s rate of blinking, width, and shape can be modified. The right and left buttons on the mouse can be swapped. The speed of double clicking can be altered. Clicklock allows dragging functions without holding down the mouse button.
Cursor options
