Our son and his wife found information on your Twiddle and got one for my wife for Christmas. It became a prized possession for her almost instantly! The Twiddle has been very calming for her at various times throughout her day. I was initially a bit surprised at her interest in it, but am now a super fan of your products! The Twiddle has given me nearly an hour each evening to prepare and cook our main meal of the day. This is absolutely life saving for me in my opinion. Having her interest focused on the Twiddle while she watches the evening news with her snack and a "beverage" has been invaluable!
I bought this Twiddle a couple of months ago for my 94 year old mother who has had slowly progressing dementia for the past 10 years. She has resided in a wonderful assisted living facility for over 2 years, but in addition to dementia, suffers from anxiety in that she often wants to "go home". This has led to occasional episodes where she cries, nervously wrings her hands, picks at her face, etc. Her family and staff have found her Twiddle to be a very effective comforting diversion that keeps her hands busy and helps calm her nervousness. Thank you for a great product!
Gave to a senior family member with dementia, immediately calmed and focused him and eased his agitation. Almost like a 'blankey' for the elderly - excellent product!
My mother suffers from dementia and often frets with her hands so the muff has helped to reduce her fidgeting. She also has poor circulation and the soft muff is a warm comfort for her chilled hands. She did not like the plastic ball buttoned inside the muff, but it was simple to remove. She does not presently "play" with the attached beads and ribbons, but she may reach a point where they keep her attention. It is so difficult to find useful and appealing gifts for dementia patients that improve gross motor skills and fine motor skills but this muff turned out to be my mom's favorite Christmas gift.
Twiddles open the doors to imagination and social interaction for children of various ages and developmental levels, with multiple uses—from a cozy comfort ‘buddy’ to an engaging, interactive puppet.
I work with children with autism and brought some of the Twiddle toys for autism which also function as visual aids. For autism therapies it's important for an autistic child to have sensory integration as found in all autism classrooms. Regular stuffed animals have been a good go-to but Twiddles offer a lot more than just touch. Classroom sensory aids are great for these kids and they sometimes even share, which is fun to watch as they build their social skills. If you have a child with autism, this is the first stop for assistive technology that makes it very easy for people with autism to focus on the real task in front of them, whatever that is.
In a sea of hard choices that are as unique as every child, a Twiddle is a safe, easy choice to add to the comfort toolbox.
