It is quite helpful for our therapy population. They are able to focus better when they can keep their hands busy.

Setting: Home
My son has been treated for anxiety/OCD for a number of years. As well as those, he is also Asperger's. He is now 10. Numerous items have been tried both at home & at school to give him something to occupy his hands and help relax him. Generally, he loses interest quickly in these items.
The Tangle Therapy however has been keeping him occupied since he opened it. The feel of it and the ability to twist it many ways and take it all apart really appeal to him. My sister has a son who is 18--he has the same problems as my son, she asked me where to get one since she was sure her son would benefit from one. We just put it on the table and throughout the day I think everyone in the house had a chance to try it out--it was addicting once you got busy using it. I would highly recommend this as a means to redirect OCD habits.

This was purchased for our special 4 year old grandson and ended up fascinating all of our grandkids, kids and ourselves... nice to have the "fun" in therapy.

Our daughter has a combination of Down syndrome and Cerebral Palsy. It is perfect for her to manipulate the Tangle with her hands and gain strength. For adults, it is just a calming thing. We love it. We wish thought that it was dishwasher safe or at least able to be submerged in water.
