The perfect mix of fun and therapy – this String Swing actively engages the vestibular and proprioceptive senses.
- Improve balance, coordination, and gross motor skills.
- Soothe and relax with a gentle back-and-forth swinging.
- Stimulate the senses and provide more intense sensory input with faster, dynamic movements such as rocking, spinning, side-to-side movement, and sudden stopping and starting in midair.
- Develop skills such as visual processing, body awareness, and visual tracking.
With its basket-style ‘see-through’ design users can safely see the ground moving beneath them, which provides great sensory integration and feedback. Once the user sits inside, their weight also creates a deep pressure squeeze from the webbing for additional proprioceptive input.
Note the sensory processing needs and modulation of each individual will differ, and this needs to be taken into account to prevent dysregulation or feelings of over being overstimulated or overwhelmed.
