It's a new day.
And a new post. This isn't so easy, starting a blog. This post is a lot about learning to use the different features of TypePad, so please excuse the randomness of the content. I can't figure out how to upload images, but I'm going to try posting a link. Click here to go to the Octaband website.
I'd love to hear from people about how they are using the octaband, so e-mail me by clicking here.
Since I'm learning about indenting text now, here's a terrific testimonial for the Octaband. I couldn't have asked for a better one:
Donna,
Allow me to act as your infomercial! I purchased this item last week - it
arrived in 4 days. It's FANTASTIC. I work in geri-psych with patients with
severe dementia and it was such a hit. Patients of all levels enjoyed. (The
loops at the end of the ribbons for attachment to the wrists are brilliant -
allows less aware patients to participate passively, feeling the
movement/rhythm through the fabric.) Then I used with my other group of
adult psych patients and discovered many other explorations on more
ambulatory and metaphorical levels. THEN I used it with another high
functioning elderly group to whom I "teach" fitness (really dmt) at various
nursing homes/assisted livings through the Older Adults Program of local
community colleges... and they had a BLAST!"Fantastico" proclaimed one elderly Mexican man, repeatedly, between bursts
of laughter and breath- "teacher, we have never done this before!"Kudos to you Donna for taking action and creating/selling this item. There
are oft times I think of a device or prop that would be useful but never
follow through with the process of creating it. You took those extra steps.
Congrats to you.Everybody who sees this item in action asks about it and I PROUDLY proclaim
that it was designed by a DANCE/MOVEMENT THERAPIST!I'm your biggest chearleader - you really should market this to Activity
Directors cross-country.And anyone working with the elderly - you should definitely acquire this -
you'll have so much fun!!!Thanks again, Donna. Good luck with your sales. Hope to meet you at the
conference.Lora Wilson, MA, DTR
