Light switch extenders
From ATWiki
Light switch extenders are devices that allow people of shorter stature or those in a wheelchair or other seating device to operate a light switch. They involve a rod that is attached to a toggle light switch with a handle on the end that allows the person to turn a light on or off using a push or pull motion.
Children
Light switch extenders are used by children as well as people with disabilities. They can be used to teach independence and responsibility.
Glow-in-the-dark
Some extenders glow in the dark, making the switch easier to use at night.
