My Project

I am looking to add a new swing to our resource room to help my students calm their bodies and get regulated to help them work. I have a lot of students that use this swing on a daily basis for breaks, to calm down, get their bodies ready to work, and if they need to regulate their mind and body. I have two swings, this I wanted to add this one for some of my deep pressure seeking students. I also am looking to get some weights to help stabilize my swing platform so it is more secure and safe for my students. Right now my swing is not weighed down, and often may move or could tip over if students are using it too fast. I would love to use the weights to help secure it and make it more beneficial for my students.
