Cognitive Therapy/Learning Disabilities:

“I work for a learning center that provides one-to-one cognitive therapy to individuals with learning challenges and disabilities. I have ordered a number of your products over the last couple of months, we now have one Tangle for each station in both of our centers (Chino, CA and Irvine, CA). We find that many of our students enjoy your product so much that they now ask for it at the beginning of their session. In turn many of the parents have made their own purchases.

Our owner and director Jill Stowell is hosting a Simulation for the community that helps them gain greater understanding and compassion for students who struggle with attention, auditory, and learning challenges. She is going to provide the attendees with a bag which will include her book At Wit’s End: A Parent’s Guide to Ending the Struggle, Tears and Turmoil of Learning Disabilities, some other pieces of literature, and Jill would very much like to include a Tangle Relax Therapy in each bag.”

Occupational Therapy/Anxiety Reduction:

“As an occupational therapy tool, Tangle can be used in a broad array of applications by our clients. Tangle helps develop fine motor dexterity and coordination in fingers and hands. It enhances visual motor processing, which helps Tangle users see the effects muscle movements have on objects. Tangle provides pleasing visual and tactile stimulation. It also serves as a wonderful outlet for frustration and anxiety and helps clients focus their attention.”

Dementia/Nursing Homes:

We represent the Office of the Long Term Care Ombudsman within the State Department on Aging in Connecticut. The Office of the Long Term Care Ombudsman is charged with protecting and advocating for the care & services and rights of residents in Connecticut nursing facilities. Over the past few years at a federal level there has been an initiative to decrease the use of antipsychotic medications used in nursing homes. It was identified that many of these medications were being used to manage behaviors among residents with a diagnosis of dementia. As medications were being reviewed and decreased, nursing facilities have been looking for alternative strategies to manage what they have identified as behaviors.

Our office celebrates our nursing home residents each year in October, during National Nursing Home week and holds a state wide conference for the residents that are leaders within their communities. This year our focus is on the national initiative to decrease antipsychotic medications in nursing homes and alternative and innovative programs designed to manage identified behaviors in a more holistic way. We will highlight programs such as music therapy, interactive computer programming, horticulture therapy, aroma therapy etc. as alternatives. We will be providing each resident that attends the conference with a Tangle to be used for his or her own relaxation purpose.

Occupational Therapy:

“I am a behavior consultant for our intermediate school district and always bring Tangles with me. Our occupational therapists are especially happy with my passion for Tangles because they are great way to meet the sensory needs of many students without creating classrooms disruptions.”

Anxiety Reduction:

“I just wanted to share my experience with your “Therapy Tangle.” I recently had an appointment for root canal. As anyone who has gone through this procedure knows this is a nerve racking experience! As I was leaving my apartment I saw the “Tangle Therapy” on my desk & decided to take it to my dental appointment. As I was sitting in the dentist chair I placed a Tangle Jr. on the dental tray & told the dentist this would bring me good energy for the procedure! I also showed him the “Therapy Tangle” & told him it was a stress reliever & it would help me get through the hour long root canal. I held onto the “Therapy Tangle” for the entire procedure & to my surprise I had no anxiety & actually fell asleep in the dental chair!! Thank you for inventing a product that really does reduce stress & anxiety situations. You have a very creative company.”

Workplace Wellness/Workplace Efficiency:

“I just wanted to thank you for making a great product. I recently started a new job and went through a rigorous two week training session. Since much of the time was spent listening to my supervisors’ instructions, my mind tended to wander. One of my co-workers let me borrow her Tangle Toy one day and I found that while playing with the toy in my hands, I was able to fully concentrate on the information that was being presented. I now feel confident at work that I will be very successful at my job! Thank you Tangle Toys!!!!”
