Harkla Pod Sensory Swing Harkla Price: $59.99 Disability: physical If you are looking for sensory or therapy swings to help your child relax and get their bearings in, then you’ve come to the right spot. Our autistic swings are made of high-quality but comfortable canvas that your child will want to spend hours in. Our Pod Sensory Swings are used by oc- cupational therapists for autism spectrum disorder and sensory processing disorder.

From infancy through adulthood, vestibular in- formation contributes to the development of muscle tone, balance, eye movements, and more. Using slow, linear movements with Pod Sensory Swing (back and forth, side to side) gives much needed vestibular input and creates a feeling of calm in your child. However, many families purchase them simply because they are a fun place for your child to hang out in! Since our indoor therapy swing safely hangs from your ceiling, your child can receive the calming sense of wellbeing that swinging brings right in your home.
