Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I will have to ask my son's teacher about the long tubular weight he uses. The onsite OT therapist probably provided it so I'll need to find out and let you know. I do know that OT orders a lot of her therapy aides from South Paw, a sensory processing disorder/sensory integration products catalog. They have really cute lap and shoulder weights shaped like animals called kitty cuddle, puppy hugs, moose masseuse and dolphin wrap, that have velcro clasps. Their website is below. _http://www.southpawenterprises.com/store/sp-weights,Category.asp_ (http://www.southpawenterprises.com/store/sp-weights,Category.asp) CReece **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Where did you buy the tube? My daughter does not like to wear vests but I think she would really like the tube.
