Autism:

The Tangle Relax is our favorite fidget. This quiet fidget toy is covered with textured rubber. It keeps fingers active, is quiet, and is very interesting to touch. This item can break apart and be reconnected. You can turn it into two mini fidgets or reassemble it into different color combinations.

To the Tangles Team

I am so impressed with your products. I am a Resource teacher and am on the look out for products such as these. I work with children with a variety of needs and the tangles would be of great use in my classroom.

Kind regards

“I have utilized Tangle Therapy in post-operative hand surgical cases with success and patient satisfaction. I have found Tangle Therapy to be effective both physically and psychologically. It’s really an amazing therapy tool.”

Smoking Cessation:

“I am currently working in a Nicotine Dependence Program helping people quit smoking. I have used stress balls and etc…in my groups…but recently ordered a Fiddle Diddle Box through Trainers Warehouse out of Natick,MA which had the fiddle key chain. My clients have loved them! They are easy to manipulate with one hand and believe it or not have helped in the recovery process from those who are quitting smoking. Some of the behaviors of handling the cigarettes are some of the toughest obstacles to overcome and manipulating the fiddle product has seriously helped. They like the small version which can be manipulated with one hand. I am surprised at how taken everyone is with them! … My clients love them!”

Wellness:

“Tangles are great for hand and mind wellness as well as fine motor skills development.”

Smoking Cessation:

We use Tangles to assist our quitters in our Freedom From Smoking program. People who are former smokers often don’t know what to do with their hands without a cigarette. Tangles help to distract them from a craving for a cigarette. I always have Tangles on the table when they first come into class because that is when they are most anxious about quitting and Tangles helps to relieve them of their nervous energy.

I also give Tangles as a training gift for health care providers when I train them in how to perform a brief intervention for tobacco use. I explain what an important tool Tangles can be in helping their patients who smoke to make a quit attempt.

Thank you for this fun and useful product.

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/ Occupational Therapy:

“I absolutely love the Tangle! Prior to using it, my hands and arms would start to ache after typing for extended periods of time. Thanks to the Tangle, no more pain.”

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!!!!”
