Looking for an Autism Swing?

Autism swings are great for kids on the autism spectrum. Many children with ASD or sensory processing disorder enjoy the rhythm of swinging and the vestibular and sensory input that swinging provides. Autism swings can provide a calming influence, help children feel secure, and can even help them fall asleep. Plus, swings can play an important role in building body awareness and training the proprioceptive system.

How to Select the Right Swing for Your Child With Autism

Autism swings — also known as sensory swings or therapy swings — aren’t all the same design. In fact, they come in many shapes and sizes so you can choose a swing that suits your child’s particular sensibilities.

• Stretchy swings: Good for children with autism who need deep pressure or the sensation of feeling hugged.
• Cocooning swings: Designed for children who need to take a break from extra sensory input or who feel overstimulated.
• Moon swings: A favorite of occupational therapists, these swings also provide necessary vestibular input. The firm insert in this type of swing allows for different activities, such as standing, kneeling or sitting.
• Platform swings: Another top choice of therapists, platform autism swings are excellent for working on postural control and balance.

Our autism swings are durable enough for the therapy center, but are also appropriate for home use, and many can be modified to be enjoyed indoors as well as outside. Be sure to check out our swing accessories, including frames, indoor hanging kits, floor mats, ropes, and infant adaptation kits.
