Swinging plays a vital role in sensory integration therapy. The triple suspension bearing from TFH enables a range of suspended equipment to be securely integrated into home environments as well as sensory rooms, sensory spaces and multi-sensory environments.The triple suspension bearing makes it easy to fix a wide range of swings, swivels and hoists used in sensory integration therapy to roof joists - enabling items to be safely used in the home environment, as well as in sensory spaces. Long-lasting bearings in the suspension points ensure swinging is smooth and quiet and extremely long-lasting. Swing Seats sold separately.
Sensory integration therapy can be beneficial for children with a wide range of sensory processing disorders including those caused by conditions on the autistic spectrum.
