OTHER SENSORY CONDITIONS

Twiddles^® are soft, therapeutic comfort and activity aids for people with a wide range of sensory-related conditions, such as:

• ADHD
• Angelman Syndrome
• Arthritis
• Cognitive Impairment
• Developmental Delays
• Down Syndrome
• Stroke Recovery

For sensory dysregulation conditions, Twiddles are a less-expensive, drug-free therapy option, ideal for use at home or in a rehabilitation setting. Twiddles can help:

• increase or decrease light touch sensitivity
• “wake up” the body to increase body awareness and sensations
• calm or desensitize in preparation for potentially problematic activities, such as haircuts, manicures or dental appointments
• develop body organization for maintaining attention and appropriate behavior for a given task or activity

In the case of arthritis and stroke, Twiddles provide a low-cost, low-tech rehabilitation option. They’re an easy way to:

• exercise hands and arms
• regain fine motor control and skills
• improve strength and dexterity

For those with ADHD, Twiddles encourage repetitive tactile stimulation that can help:

• reduce agitation and distractibility
• provide a calming effect along with enjoyable activities
• maintain attention and appropriate behavior for tasks and activities.

Each Twiddle is made from a cozy, durable fabric. Tethered inside is a flexible, soft-plastic orbit ball. Twiddles remind that special someone they are cared for, even when you can’t be with them.

Attached to the outside are three detachable gadgets:

• a sealed satin or buckskin crackle pouch
• a soothing strand of textured ribbons
• a playful loop of colorful wooden beads

Additional features:

• a Velcro^® pull-tab
• a name tag
• machine-washable
• safety-tested to meet U.S. & European standards
