Each of the two actions activates a different switch. 8 Choosing the Right Switch To choose the right switch, therapists must understand the factors involved in switch use [3], including reliability, repeatability, timing, and ease of use. The reliability of a client’s physical actions affects his or her voluntary ability to operate a switch. Reliability can be defined as the consistency with which a consumer completes a motor act to activate a switch. Reliability also implies that a client can make a movement in isolation from other movements.
