Seeking Advice: How Can Sensory Swings Help with Autism Symptoms?

Hey everyone,

I'm reaching out because my daughter has recently been diagnosed with autism, and I'm looking for some advice and guidance.

My daughter displays a range of symptoms associated with autism, including difficulty with social interaction, repetitive behaviors, sensory sensitivities, and struggles with communication and emotional regulation. As a parent, it's been challenging to see her cope with these challenges, and I'm constantly searching for ways to support her and improve her quality of life.

I've heard about sensory swings and their potential benefits for individuals with autism. I'm particularly interested in understanding how sensory swings, can help with emotional issues and other symptoms of autism. Can anyone share their experiences or insights on this?

If you've used sensory swings with a child or loved one with autism, I would love to hear about your experiences. Did you notice any improvements in mood, sensory processing, or overall well-being? How often did you use the swings, and in what settings?

Any advice, recommendations, or personal anecdotes would be greatly appreciated. I'm eager to learn more about how sensory swings could potentially make a difference in my daughter's life.

Thank you all for your support and input.

Best regards,

  • I have one as an adult and absolutely love it. It gives me a sense of containment as well as sensory input.

    It might be worth considering if your child likes swinging and spinning as inputs. A sensory swing is different to a park swing but some people don't like that experience.

  • Hey there,

    I just wanted to share my experience with sensory swings because my daughter, who's also on the autism spectrum, has benefited greatly from them.

    After my daughter's diagnosis, we were exploring various therapies and interventions recommended by her therapists. One of the suggestions was to try sensory swings, and we decided to go for the ones from SensoryHarbor Brand

    Let me tell you, it's been a game-changer for us. Not only did we notice improvements in her mood and emotional regulation, but she also absolutely loves playing in it. Sometimes, she even falls asleep while swinging gently. It's become a comforting and enjoyable activity for her.

    If you're considering sensory swings for your child with autism, I highly recommend giving them a try. They've made a significant difference in my daughter's life, and I'm grateful for the positive impact they've had.

    Best wishes,
