Switches sometimes must be mounted in place to make them easier
to use. This provides stability for the student by ensuring that
the switch stays in one place! For push switches we often use pieces
of sticky-backed Velcro to hold them in place on a table or desk.
For students who access switches in other ways, a mounting system
may be useful. Mounts described below hold up to 5 lbs. They are
useful for mounting switches or lightweight communication aids.
 Examples
E-Mount (Adaptivation)
The E-Mount provides quick and easy placement in any position. It
includes a clamp and mounting plate. Both a Mini Clamp (standard
unless specified) and a Clip Clamp are available. You also can receive
your choice of mounting plates.
 Universal

It is available with either a knob or lever to securely lock all
the joints in place. It clamps anywhere and is easy to adjust in
a hurry.
