Designed for children with autism who need deep pressure or the sensation of feeling hugged.
Swinging, jumping, spinning, and rocking are important to children not only for fun and exercise but also to help their bodies organize and to regulate their sensory systems. Vestibular input is one of the core elements of sensory integration therapy. The bodies’ vestibular system is the sensory system that provides the primary input about movement, balance, spatial awareness, and positioning. It helps the child to prepare posture, maintain balance, properly use vision, calm him/her and regulate behavior.
Key Features:
- Provides calm and a hug-effect: Helps the child feel secure similar to getting a hug or being swaddled
- Specially designed for special needs: Ideal for Sensory Processing Disorder, Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, or children on the autism spectrum. It helps the child to learn body awareness, balance, motor planning, and spatial skills.
- It provides sensory pressure all over: It creates a fun space to bounce, swing, spin, or lie down enjoying the movement of the swing.
- It increases balance and coordination: The children will gain confidence that their body is safe, even when their feet are off the ground. The stronger these associations become, the more their balance improves.
- It increases focus: It gives them some much-needed relief from an overwhelmed nervous system. It also makes children with autism feel more “in balance.” Because of this, many parents find that swinging before or during homework increases concentration.
Helps with:
- Coordination
- Sensory seeking
Easy to use: Sent with necessary hardware, the whole swing can be set up within a few minutes indoor/outdoor. The daisy chain can adjust the height easily. It make hanging simple for kids.
