Octaband at AMTA American Music Therapy Conference San Diego 2010

The AMTA conference gave me a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with previous purchasers of the OctabandTM. One music therapist who works with children with autism said, "The Octaband provides such a nice kinesthetic framework." A woman who did her internship with people with Parkinson's said the folks with Parkinson's and the staff "love it." They are all motivated to keep the shaker eggs on the center circle of the Octaband. One woman reported using the Octaband with great success with people with developmental disabilities, ages 3 - 26. I was told that the music therapy department at U. Dayton love it. And Renata stopped by to tell me that the forensic unit in Patton California loves the Octaband as well.

Thanks to all for the feedback and wonderful ways you are bringing healing to folks with all sorts of challenges.
