Program Remote Controlled Toys for AAC Activation

Learn how to program a high tech AAC device to activate a toy, using infrared radiation (IR) control. This is ideal for children who:

• Have poor motor skills and need larger target areas,
• Use alternative activation method(s) such as eye gaze, or
• Respond better to physical toys when learning AAC.

In this tutorial, Smartbox Grid 3 on EyeTech’s EyeOn Elite device is being used. If using different software, such as Tobii Dynavox, programming for IR toys is still possible! Please visit the company’s website and search for “environmental controls.”
