Most sensory swings are made from a durable, stretchable fabric. The full body compression of this fabric mimics the feeling of a tight hug or being wrapped in a cocoon and provides womb-like safety and comfort. Sensory swings are often used in Occupational Therapy for children with sensory processing disorder, ADHD, or autism. If your child enjoys hugs, squeezes, or being in quiet enclosed places, then the sensory swing is the perfect option for them.
