Square Sensory Therapeutic Swing
Description
The therapeutic swing contains an inbuilt stabilizer, which can be regulated to stabilize the device partially or completely.
It is used for developing bilateral motor co-ordination, balance reflexes, visuomotor co-ordination, tonic (especially labyrinthine) reflex integration, improving postural (flexor and extensor) muscle tone and general stimulation of the nervous system through strong activation of the vestibular and proprioceptive system receptors.
Children with sensory integration issues have a number of ways to react to the environment. Even though each child is special, there are few typical ways to respond to sensory input. Sensory integration is a way of describing brain processes that help us take, organize, and respond effectively to information received or gathered from our 5 senses.
A fun way of doing Sensory Exercises and an essential part of any Sensory Diet prescribed by an Occupational Therapist.
