BACKGROUND
Problem Statement
Our team has been tasked with developing and
implementing a mechanism that allows individuals
in wheelchairs to experience the sensory
stimulation one gets from swinging without exiting
their standard or powered wheelchairs for under
$2,500 by May 2015.

Safety Considerations
•
1:16 maximum slope for ramp
•
Objects may not protrude 60’’ wide space of an
accessible route
•
Designers must consider optimal layout for experience
•
Turning space for wheelchair shall be located
immediately adjacent to swing
