Take a look at the CBeebies website that has some switch enabled games and also Priory Woods school has some good games.

Ask your speech and laguage therapist as well, perhaps?

There is a company called Inclusive Technology who sells early learning software that can be operated by switch.

Hi, my name is Chris.....[/quote]

Hi,
I am a teacher. I am looking for things for a 16 year old boy to use in education. His typing speed is 3 words a minute. His speech is limited. You obviously know which things are helpful. What would you recommend?

Hi,

my name is Chris, I`m 21 and have CP.

Right now, I am a mytobii P10 user and I love it. It is an eye controlled computer, no need for switches at all but they can be added to the control. Prior, to the tobii, I used a Pathfinder with chin operated switches. If one hasn`t tried any other input than switches, than they should. I find it much faster to control my PC with my eyes. Not to mention, that you can have access to all sorts of software, they don`t really have to be switch enabled or anyhow restricted like that. Do a search on the internet for my device. I am here to help if you have any questions.
