This is therapy?!?

It sure is! It has to be very controlled with certain specifications, or it isn't helpful to a child's sensory processing.  For instance, Jace requires several minutes with a very steady rhythm.  While Aidan's shouldn't go over a minute.  Aidan pretty much has to stick with a perfect straight rhythm with no mistakes, or it sends him into vomiting.  And absolutely no spinning for either!  Anyway, believe it or not, this seat fits all three boys and I got it from Toysrus.  It works for now, to just do the simple stuff for them at home.  Eventually we will figure out how to get them the bolster and pressure swings.  Which is another specification... Aidan benefits from the pressure swing, while Jace is totally freaked out by it and does better with the bolster.  

Here is the super simple solution to putting up a therapy swing without putting it into the ceiling.  The screws we used go way up in there, and there's three.  It's mighty solid.  Even I could swing from it... haha.
