What is a Bouncin’ Swing?
A Bouncin’ Swing
is a tool that many occupational therapists use to address issues
revolving around the vestibular system, visual processing, and proprioception. These swings
are perfect for use in the home and therapy
clinic and for most people theses
are used as the very foundation for Occupational
Therapy.
Here at Affordable
Therapy Solutions we strive to produce the best Bouncin’ Swings we can they are very durable and can hold up to 150lbs.
We make the seat out of denim and foam to provide the most comfort for your
child.
Who uses them?
These swings used
to be exclusively available to Therapy
Clinics and Occupational Therapists
due to the high cost and limited availability.
This is no longer the case and we highly encourage the use of swings in the home because it’s a great
tool that can be used for self-calming and can encourage communication.
Our Bouncin’ Swing
is a great tool to stimulate various
systems in our bodies that they are used to treat many different disorders such
as Autism, ADHD, Asperger’s, and Sensory Integration Disorder.
How should I use them?
The Affordable Therapy Solutions Bouncin’ Swing
should be used with Adult supervision.
You will want to start by having the child get on the swing while it is not moving and make
sure they hold the ropes. Start swinging
slowly and gradually work your way up.
This swing is designed to be bounced on so don’t be afraid to jump!
As mentioned before communication
can better be developed by periodically stopping the swinging and asking them
if they want to continue. Since it is an enjoyable event they will be more
inclined to find a way to communicate
verbally or non-verbally.
