A swing which allows neuromuscular handicapped persons to assume a normal sitting position and to receive good vestibular therapy. The swing has a chair formed by a rigid shell equipped with cushions. The chair is suspended on four ropes which attach to the top edge of the chair back and to the front edges of its sides. The ropes attach at their top ends to a swivel hook mounted on the ceiling or another overhead support. Adjustable head support pads on the back of the chair keep the neck of the occupant from bending unduly and hold the head in place. An adjustable leg support pad on the seat is straddled by the legs of the occupant.
