Swing into Smiles

Sensory swings provide a soothing and calming effect, helping to reduce anxiety and stress. The gentle rocking or swinging motion mimics the comfort of being rocked, which can help regulate the nervous system.  I have seen how my students benefit from the sensory swing we have in the classroom, and would like to have additional swings in the gym so that more students can access the soothing and calming effects of swinging. Although swinging provides regulation; When you swing, it often feels like you're flying or soaring through the air, which gives a sense of freedom and weightlessness. Who does not like the feeling of soaring in the air!
