Types of Swings
Platform
1. Easiest most user friendly swing
Platform swings can be utilised in an upright seated cross legged position, legs dangling, kneeling, lying on the side, prone on the stomach or supine on the back body
Nest
2. Medium user abilities
Nest swings can be used in similar orientations to the platform swing or apply swivel hook for oscillation. The material, texture and appearance provide changes to sensory stimulation
Bolster
3. More challenge and ability
Bolster swings can be straddled seated upright, in a prone or supine position and graded according to individual needs
