| "We, at the Presbyterian Home of the Moshannon Valley, have created a program called the Kaleidoscope Initiative. It symbolizes the great strides we have made toward making our long-term care facility into a social model instead of a medical model by making the resident the center of all. Through this, we have achieved a restraint free atmosphere for the entire 120-bed facility. This is free from physical and chemical restraints. We do have residents who suffer from bordem and mental health diagnoses. We are constantly looking for innovative ways to help satisfy residents needs even if it is the need to have their hands busy like they were used to for many years. I came across your website and saw your list of steps you'll take in the Peace Plan. I would like to see all long-term care facilities added to your list of contributions. I am requesting that you consider sending us a few samples of your Magic in Motion and we will be sure to advise you on the usefulness amongst our elderly. It truly appears to be therapy for all ages. We would like to try the textured Tangle, as well, since many our residents suffer from loss/deterioration of senses. We really feel your product could help our residents relax, help with boredom and the need to be busy." |

| "My first exposure with your Tangle came on the occasional classes in the corporate training department. There were assorted items scattered on the tables to keep hands busy and if you weren't the lucky 2 to grab the Tangles you were stuck with what was left. Some years go by.....my second exposure was a few weeks ago in my therapist's office (yeah, I was JUST A TAD excited to see it again!!!!) and only after my session did I realize how I couldn't put it down...really convenient because you can Tangle with one hand and talk with the other one. I finally bought one of my own...I won't say where because now they're mine...all mine!!!! One thing I really like is the one-handed-ness about the Jr. that I like/have is that if someone actually expects me to use both hands for something then I can let it fall to a bracelet style or wrap it around my fingers (brass-knuckle style). Another reason is I didn't realize that excessive snacking was because I needed something to do with my hands while exercising my right to be a couch potato. This year for Christmas my 18 year old nephew will be getting his own Tangle, why, you ask??? because last year I gave him a Christmas-ornament sized etch-a sketch and he flipped over it. I'm quite certain he'll love this too.
Thank you so much for letting vent...thank you Mr. Tangle creator...you are a genius..." |

| "I am an elementary and special education major and have learned the impact they can have on students. In the special education field it is beneficial to have for ADHD/ADD students for something they can use in their hands and it helps them focus. It can serve as a de-stress mechanism for students who get excited or out of control; even for teachers who get frustrated. I think the Tangle Toy is an important and amazing invention that everyone should know about and have. There are so many useful uses for a Tangle, besides just a toy. Thank you!" |

| "I just wanted to let you know that the Tangle is a wonderful invention! The company I work for is going through a stressful period right now, and everyone comes to my cubicle to borrow it. More than a few of my coworkers have ordered their own! I took mine to my best friends wedding, and she had it in her hands constantly up until she walked down the aisle. I just got through ordering her own since she got addicted." |

| "I would like to thank you for creating these toys. I have several students with ADD and ADHA who have been driving me crazy this year. Now I hand them a Tangle when they walk in my classroom and they are NO TROUBLE AT ALL. It keeps their hands busy and mouths closed and they seem to be learning so far better than before." |

| "I am an occupational therapist working for two school districts. I travel between school and provide services each day to students with special needs. While my students have varying disabilities, many have difficulty with attention to task and need help staying focused. Others have poor motor coordination and muscle strength and this impacts their ability to complete written work. Each week, I bring a variety of therapeutic tools to each school to assist my students in learning to function to the best of their ability. I have found Tangle products to be very useful and I always keep them in my travel bag each week. I offer small Tangle toys to students to use as fidgets to improve their auditory and visual attention. Other students pull apart and put together Tangle toys as a warm up activity to improve the small muscle strength in their hands. Then, they seem to have better endurance for written work. Everyone seems to enjoy working with both large and small Tangle Toys." |

| "I just wanted to say thank you for Tangle. I have carried the Jr around for years! I am always fidgeting and stressed and having Tangle at my side has become quite a relief.
It is like my trusty sidekick. And what a conversation starter. I have learned to always carry an extra few with me, because ultimately I end up having to share mine! I keep them in my coat pocket, my desk, my car, my purse. When the urge of feeling overwhelmed starts to hit...my Tangle is right there ready to calm and relieve stress. Like a massage on the go! You would be amazed at the things you can do with a Tangle on your wrist!
Thank you again." |

| "I recently purchased several Tangle items for my family. While browsing your web site to make my purchase I read "The Tangle Peace Plan" with much interest. I am a Girl Scout leader to almost 25 second and third grade little girls. I think Tangle would make an excellent teaching tool for my troop. We could use it to learn in may ways. For example: my girls could sign a pledge to Tangle when they are angry instead of arguing. This would also help them earn their "Working it out" Girl Scout patch. We could also use Tangle as a relaxation tool that they could use at school. Also, as stated in number 5 of your peace place "Better Brains and Thoughts Through Tangling! Tangle Therapy is the obvious answer to low self esteem, repressed hostility and general unhappiness. " I think that Tangle would be very beneficial tool for my troop." |
