Labor Day Marks 5 Year Anniversary of Start of Octaband Business

Octaband Celebrates 5 Years in Business Today

Labor Day

 

It was on Labor Day, 2006 that I first offered the Octaband for sale. However, it was about 6 years prior that I created the first Octaband when working as a dance movement therapist with people with mid to late stage dementia. You can read about what motivated me to design the first Octaband on the Octaband website.

In the past 5 years, the Octaband has been discovered, purchased, used and loved by many around the globe. If you have an Octaband, we'd love for you to share how you're using it so that others can also benefit.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OCTABAND.

Octaband

  • Octabandnofaces
    The Octaband™ is a fun, interactive tool which promotes individuality and group cohesion through movement for people of all ages and abilities. As a dance/movement therapist, Donna Newman-Bluestein was motivated to design the Octaband to stimulate movement in the elderly with dementia. The stretchy material, bright colors, and innovative design stimulate self-expression, spontaneity, and awareness of others. The center circle provides a strong visual focus, and the 5 1/2" hem at the end of each arm allows those with limited grasping ability to participate. Go to www.octaband.com to learn more.
