Proprioceptive input — deep pressure through joints and the vestibular system — is one of the most effective ways to calm an overloaded sensory system in children with autism, SPD or ADHD.

This Sensory Autism Therapy Swing Indoor and Outdoor Hammock is a suspended lycra-fabric body swing designed to provide calming, regulating deep-pressure input through whole-body movement. The enclosed cocoon design creates a safe, contained environment that many autistic and sensory-sensitive children find deeply calming — mimicking the pressure of being held or hugged while allowing self-directed swinging and spinning that activates the vestibular system. Regular use has been shown in occupational therapy research to reduce anxiety, improve focus, support emotional regulation, and provide a reliable self-soothing strategy. The reinforced hanging point and load-tested straps support weights up to the rated capacity safely. Suitable for indoor ceiling beams or joists, and outdoor tree branches with the included fixings. Suitable for children aged approximately 3 and above under adult supervision.
