Buddy Button

A widely used commercial assistive technology switch manufactured by AbleNet, designed for single-switch access to computers, communication devices, and adapted toys. Buddy Buttons are large, colorful, easy-to-activate mechanical switches that can be positioned on various body parts (shoulder, hand, headrest) and activated with minimal force. They connect via standard switch jacks or USB adapters and are commonly used by people with motor impairments for AAC, environmental control, and computer interaction.
