Abstract
This project is a motor-assisted swing system designed for Pope’s Place, a care facility in Centralia, Washington, that provides individualized medical care for children and young adults with exceptional medical needs. The electric swing provides a self-soothing effect for children up to 150 pounds by allowing them to swing safely and independently with just an initial push. It also features a built-in vibration function to provide sensory stimulation to the child. The swing is designed to be portable and can easily be folded and moved between rooms throughout the facility, therefore serving as many individuals at Pope's Place as possible. This solution aims to create an improved quality of life and independence for the residents and patients served at this facility.
Pope’s Place provides individualized care for children and young adults with exceptional medical needs to strengthen them, their families, and the community.
