" My, then 9 year old, daughter was struggling in school displaying an incredible amount of anxiety. Our amazing school OT, Amy A., diagnosed her with sensory processing issues and recommended SPIO pants for her. We were hesitant and unbelieving that a pair of tight pants would make a difference. We finally gave in and ordered a pair. The first day she put them her demeanor was completely different - she exhibited a significant reduction in anxiety. I formally dubbed them the "miracle pants" from that day forward. We are now on our second pair in in our second year of wearing them. She would not dream of attending school without them. The beauty is that she is now excelling academically and we know that our SPIO "miracle pants" play a significant role in her success. Thank you for a fabulous product! "
" Our 10 year old daughter has a rare genetic syndrome that causes many problems including hypotonia. She has always been a sensory seeker (deep proprioception) and wore Theratogs from ages 3-5+. We found Theratogs to be very helpful for her and count them as one of the reasons she learned to walk at age 4 (very rare for her syndrome). There was definitely a learning curve to putting them on and they were somewhat difficult to use with a child in diapers, however completely worth it in our experience. She basically grew out of them and we didn't replace them. So recently we came upon difficult times with our daughter when we thought she thought she would benefit from the organization she seemed to feel while wearing Theratogs years ago. Her OT recommended the Spio Suit, upper and lower. We were really eager and excited to have her wear them considering the overwhelmingly positive reviews, but they just didn't help her like they've helped others. Yes, she liked them (or didn't protest), but they didn't help her organize herself, nor did it decrease the amount and frequency of difficult behavior. Though they are much easier to apply than Theratogs, we found them to be too hot to wear in the summer time in So. CA. We will continue to try them when the weather cools. In addition, they do seem a little pricey for basically a workout outfit/spandex shirt and leggings (compared to Theratogs which are made from a wet suit-like material). Having said that, I highly doubt you could find a similar product elsewhere. "
