Sensory Autism Therapy Swings

Types of Sensory Swings

There are various types of sensory swings available, each with unique benefits and features

Therapy Hammocks

These swings offer a deep pressure sensation, which can be calming and organizing for children with SPD and autism.

Platform Swings

These swings allow children to sit or stand while being swung, providing opportunities for increased balance and coordination.

Tactile Swings

These swings can be covered in different textures, providing additional sensory input and stimulation for children who seek out sensory experiences.

Sensory Integration Swings

These swings are designed to provide a range of sensory inputs, including vestibular, proprioceptive, and tactile, and can be adjusted to meet the child's specific needs.

This input can be calming on the nervous system and  improves your child's coordination and body awareness.  The gentle and rhythmic movement from a sensory swing can have a regulating effect on the nervous system. Sensory swings are great for promoting self-regulation, increased attention and improved coordination.

Sensory swings can be an excellent addition to sensory rooms because they provide children with a variety of sensory experiences that can help regulate their sensory system. Here's why sensory swings are a great addition to sensory rooms:
