In the 9 months since it has been introduced to the market in a very limited fashion, the Octaband has been used for dance/movement therapy with the elderly, children with special needs, family therapy, team building, peace education, birthday parties, spiritual rituals, and intergenerational programming.

Here's what dance therapist Lora Wilson of Long Beach California said about it:

Donna,

Allow me to act as your infomercial! I purchased this item last week - it arrived in 4 days. It's FANTASTIC. I work in geri-psych with patients with severe dementia and it was such a hit. Patients of all levels enjoyed. (The loops at the end of the ribbons for attachment to the wrists are brilliant - allows less aware patients to participate passively, feeling the movement/rhythm through the fabric.) Then I used with my other group of adult psych patients and discovered many other explorations on more ambulatory and metaphorical levels. THEN I used it with another high functioning elderly group to whom I "teach" fitness (really dmt) at various nursing homes/assisted livings through the Older Adults Program of local community colleges... and they had a BLAST!

"Fantastico" proclaimed one elderly Mexican man, repeatedly, between bursts of laughter and breath- "teacher, we have never done this before!"

Kudos to you Donna for taking action and creating/selling this item. . . Everybody who sees this item in action asks about it and I PROUDLY proclaim that it was designed by a DANCE/MOVEMENT THERAPIST! I'm your biggest chearleader - you really should market this to Activity Directors cross-country.

And anyone working with the elderly - you should definitely acquire this - you'll have so much fun!!!

DON'T MISS OUT! Buy yours now.

Donna
