The Friendship Swing allows several children and adults of assorted sizes to swing together. The design allows those swinging to keep direct eye contact as they swing which supports communication. Many occupational therapists use this type of swing to help children work on their emotional regulation through practicing co-regulation experiences with the child. The swing is also set at a transfer height for easy transfer from a wheelchair so that all can swing together.
