Infant swings but for older babies.. Also blind children…?
Posted: June 11th, 2011 | Author: admin | Filed under: Travel For Disabled | Tags: also, babies.., Blind, Children, Infant, older, swings | 3 Comments »My son is 14 months old and weighs about 22lbs. Although he is the size of 1 yr old he only has the physical capabilities of about a 5 month old. He can no get him self to a sitting position ( He can sit up but you have to put him in a sitting position) He does not walk or crawl. He has a rare bone disease. He has had a transplant and will be of normal health around age 2-3yrs old. He just has a lot of catching up to do becuse his bones are rebuilding.
My question is this. He loves his swings, he has a travel and a regular one. Well it seems that he is more then outgrown the travel and the regular doesn’t swing as fast now that he is heavier. Is there any swings made specifically for older children. Not the kind that go outside but something indoors, like the infant ones.
My other questions; My son has very limited vision, are their toys specifically made for visually impaired kids?
Thanks
I found this and think it looks like something you would be looking for. http://www.sensoryedge.com/toddler-swing.html
For toys- I would find anything w/ weird and textures on it (it doesn’t even have to be a toy), things w/ different scents, and lots of music… I would try baby Einstein Cd’s. They make great music Cd’s. What ever it takes to expand his mind. My daughter loves elmo toys. Try elmo, kids really love his voice!
My son use a full size Graco swing until he was almost 2. It was fun for him. I don’t know about the toys though.
