FREE POSTER-Set Clear Expectations for Your Sensory Swing

A sensory swing can be a powerful regulation tool—but without structure, it can quickly turn into a free-for-all.

That’s why I created a free printable poster with clear, visual rules to help students use the swing responsibly.

Why Rules Matter:Swings are fun, but in school they serve a purpose: self-regulation, not playtime. Clear expectations help students use the tool effectively—and safely—without it becoming overstimulating or disruptive.

About the Free Poster:This visually engaging poster includes six simple, student-friendly rules (with icons!) to help guide swing use. It’s designed to be posted right near the swing.

Pair It With This Visual Support:

For best results, I highly recommend pairing it with the Just Right! Bulletin Board. This helps students first check in with how they feel and choose the strategy (like swinging) that will help them get “just right” for learning.

Enhance the Space With:

• A visual timer for swing time limits

• Calming music to promote regulation

• A simple check-in/check-out routine to reflect on effectiveness
