Judy Lynne's Boombox is a good start. She has a few other programs that also teach children cause & effect too.

I talked to Howard who is making the Switch and said it should be available in the next several weeks. He wants to make sure the software is just perfect. There is a 5-port and 10 port version. Each port is configurable. You can also save configurations for specific situations or software. Once you configure the switch you can unplug it and bring it to another computer and it holds that configuration in the switch itself. I was able to test drive the switch at CTG for the gaming session I did. There are 2 pieces of software that come with the switch. One is to set up the configurations and the other software is for switching configurations from the top menu. This can have so many applications. If you use SwitchJam for example and you are changing instruments for kids between songs, instead of unplugging and plugging in different switch ports, you just load a new configuration. One of the hidden features will be able to use one of the ports to go to a second level, which essentially doubles the amount of switch activations you can have in a setup. For example, you could have switch settings in a single configuration. Way Cool!! Looks to be an awesome switch (interface).
