Occupational therapists have long recognized the benefits of incorporating sensory swings into therapy sessions. Platform swings, in particular, offer an unstable surface that challenges a child's body positioning, promoting improved motor planning, balance, coordination, and righting reactions.By engaging with a platform swing, children with sensory processing disorders can experience sensory integration and processing, leading to enhanced sensory regulation. These swings are specifically designed to assist children in developing essential skills for daily life occupations, such as self-care and handwriting.During this episode, we dive into the reasons why occupational therapists choose to incorporate platform swings into their therapy sessions. We discuss 5 activities and techniques used to maximize the therapeutic benefits of these swings.Whether you're a parent, caregiver, or healthcare professional, this episode will provide valuable insights into the power of platform swings!Gross Motor Skills Activity CourseFine Motor Skills Activity Course Visual Skills Activity CourseWe’d love to answer your questions on the podcast!
