Help Us Bring a Second Sensory Swing to Footprints!
Why a Second Sensory Swing?
Our students LOVE the sensory swing. It’s one of the most-used pieces of equipment in our building, and for many children on the autism spectrum, it’s far more than playtime. Sensory swings provide:
- Calming, rhythmic movement that helps regulate the nervous system
- Reduced anxiety and sensory overload
- Improvements in attention, focus, and emotional regulation
- Support for stronger transitions throughout the day
- A safe, comforting space for students who need grounding
Our current swing is so popular that there’s often a wait — and when a tool is this essential, waiting can be hard.
This Year’s Goal: A Second Sensory Swing
We’re raising funds to purchase an additional sensory swing system, giving more students access to this vital resource each day. The new swing will help reduce wait times, support individual sensory plans, and create more opportunities for students to feel calm, safe, and ready to learn.
Watch Our 2025 Giving Tuesday Video
In true Footprints tradition, our staff has created a lighthearted video… this time showing what happens when the adults try to get their turn on the swing. (Don’t worry — no staff members were harmed in the making of this film.)
