My clients predominantly have intellectual disabilities but there are a few with physical disabilities too. Everyone LOVES the Octaband! We do a warm-up and a few clients with Asperger's love to lie under the band & have it bounce above them. I have used it with my own kids & their friends, and EVERYONE loves it!! It's especially popular for people who think they can't dance. It's a wonderful piece of inclusive equipment.
"Whenever I have someone who is not participating and I bring out the Octaband, a shift happens and there are smiles all around. I never teach a class without having it as my most important resource."
"I use this tool multiple times a week in my dance with elders work! It brings people together and I love how they can see the impact of their movement through the bands. Many ask for the Octaband during my groups!"
