The JennSwing – More Than Just Play, It’s Therapy

Report by the Staff of American Swing Products

American Swing has looked for and found products for special needs children that greatly improve quality of life. The JennSwing and other special needs products offer the means to turn “acting out” into great behavior. Instead of swinging randomly, why not try swinging or twirling on a tire swing? Changing the setting makes all the difference in the world. Instead of climbing things at home that ought not to be climbed, set up a simple rock wall using our rock panels and “acting out” becomes great behavior instead, and builds muscles.

Play for special needs children should integrate the senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. Our swings are great for improving gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, vestibular activities and visual stimulation. The motion of swinging restores the feeling of balance to those with balance issues. It soothes them and provides relaxation. It even helps increases concentration.
It is wonderful to find something that is fun and positive on many different levels. Our playground equipment offers an activity that your family can enjoy and improves your special needs child’s quality of life.

The JennSwing, in particular, is designed to help meet the American Disabilities Act guidelines for playground equipment in public applications and makes the term “Handicapped Accessible” means more than just being able to watch. The JennSwing is also convenient because a child can be more easily lifted onto the swing and quickly strapped in. With its partially reclined, body-embracing design and easily adjustable safety harness, the JennSwing offers children a safe and comfortable fun ride.

All of our commercial and residential playground equipment are made from many durable materials and are tested by National Testing Standards. The material that we use is not the material typically used in this industry but it’s our only choice; because it’s the safest, most durable, and the highest quality. There is no compromising when it comes to the safety of our children; and for American Swing there is no compromising on that commitment we made all those years ago.
