Choosing an access method

Pick how a person operates the board in Setup → Access. The board itself never changes between methods, so someone can move between them (or mix them) without relearning anything:

Method How it selects
Touch Tap a cell to select it.
Switch scanning The highlight steps through cells; press your switch to select.
Dwell Rest the pointer on a cell to select it.
Head / gaze Move your head to point (using the camera); rest on a cell to select.

If the detected hardware can’t currently drive a method, the app notes that but leaves the method selectable — an external mouse, switch interface, or eye tracker may be plugged in at any time.

The Setup dialog with the Access section open: the Access method radios (Touch selected, Switch scanning, Dwell, Head / gaze) with their help text. Desktop, light theme.
Setup → Access: pick how the board is operated.

Each method has its own settings page: Touch · Switch scanning · Dwell · Head and eye gaze
