 * I’m trying to provide an accessibility mode for people with impaired sight. Ideally,
   I’d have a button or link that when pressed immediately loads a child theme stylesheet.
   I’d like to avoid a page refresh. Does this plugin refresh the page when it changes
   the theme?

 * Yes, it refreshes the page.
    If you don’t mind, may I know what’s the problem
   with page refresh?

 * It’s ugly and unnecessary, at least for the functionality I was looking for. 
   But I understand that if you’re changing themes, there’s probably no other way.
   In the end, I used javascript to preload a different stylesheet and switch seamlessly
   between them and have the choice remembered by using cookies. Thanks for the 
   reply.
