A sensory swing for Elijah to work on regulating emotions

Posted Jun 27, 2024
Elijah requires support to regulate his nervous system and manage feelings of being overwhelmed. This compression swing would provide him with the necessary sensory input. It will offer vestibular sensory input to help soothe his nervous system, and it will be conveniently located in the house so that he can access it at any time when needed.

Elijah is 5 years old and lives in WA

Elijah is an absolute joy to be around! He's always happy and has a super sweet personality. Elijah is nonverbal and has autism, as well as some sensory processing issues. But that doesn't stop him from enjoying life! He loves spending time outdoors, especially swinging. He also enjoys listening to music and playing with Play-Doh. Oh, and his all-time favorite foods are chicken nuggets and bananas! Elijah is such a special boy who brings a smile to everyone who meets him.

Awesome Human grants the wish for Elijah! Thanks Awesome Human.

"Hi, Elijah! I have ADHD so sometimes I have trouble regulating my emotions, too. I always loved playing on the swings and spinning around in chairs when I was a kid. I hope that this swing gives you the same feelings of lightness and freedom that those activities gave me. When things get tough, remember to breathe and ask for help if you need it. You got this! Sending lots of love your way!"
