As a physiotherapist and the parent of a 4 year old boy with DS, I consider myself very fortunate to have discovered Add-A-Bands. Samuel has worn his bands since he was just 10 months old. At that time he was just beginning to sit propped up with cushions and spending lots of playtime on his tummy. He is extremely hypermobile and was starting to spread his legs very wide. As a therapist I realised that it was better to prevent a bad habit from occurring than to try and correct it at a later stage. So I started him on the wonderful Add-A-Bands. Samuel took to them without any difficulty. They were as comfortable for him to wear as regular clothing. He wore his Add-A-Bands nearly every day for the first year or two. As he is older now he wears them less frequently, but good movement patterns are so well established that even without his Add-A-Bands he maintains excellent leg positions. His own physical therapist says that they are the single most effective product she has ever seem for promoting normal movement pattern in children with DS, and if started early enough before independent movement begins the children develop much fewer faulty movement patterns.

Add-A-Bands are the best thing I’ve found for Becca. I’ve been looking for 7 years for something to help! Since she started wearing them at the beginning of the summer, I’ve seen marked improvement in her sitting style and movement. Becca can move her legs independently of one another without any restrictions to normal movement. She’s even excited to wear them. Terrific!
