The Swingboard


Originator......Pam Fuller

THE PROBLEM:  To provide a vestibular activity for a child with little to no mobility control that also had to be safe, partially self-sustaining and easily moved.

THE SOLUTION:  A plywood base with 6 inch tall holding boards. The holding boards prevent the child from rolling off the side of the swing board. The child can lay prone or supine on the board while a caretaker pushes him to create the vestibular stimulation of swinging. The holding boards are held to the plywood floor with bolts keeping the holding boards from being pushed down. This allows the width of the holding boards to be extended should it be required for the child’s comfort. Eye hooks at the corners of the plywood allow for hanging from just about any stable place. Detailed instructions on how this board was made can be requested by sending an email to: infantsol@yahoo.com
