To Latch a Switch

(this post is a list of resources I created for the RESNA list-serv)

Latching means that the first hit of a switch turns the item on and the second hit turns it off. This is useful for a learning who cannot sustain pressure on a a switch or when sustained switch closure is not practical because of the student's needs, the item being activated (switch scissors come to mind) or the type of switch (i.e. a tilt switch in some cases).
