My friend has been using these gloves with her son with amazing results, so I had to try them for Jewel.
check out their site.

I have found the person on the phone most helpful and knowledgeable. We will try to get Jewe's insurance to get the vest and short pants but if we have to get them it is worth saving up for them.
SPIO stands for; Stabilizing Pressure Input Orthosis. The company can help to give you the medical codes for your doctor to write the prescription. The products offer support with stability and proprioceptive deficits. This product was designed by two mothers! Cheryl Allen and Nancy Hylton collaborated their knowledge and brilliant ideas to help not only their children but ours- A heart felt Thank you ladies!
Dynamic Family Services owns SPIO and their products. They are a nonprofit organization helping our children with special needs reach their full potential.
Their gloves, shorts, pants, vests and shirts help children with cerebral palsy, spastic quad, post hip surgery, autism, global development delays, possible angelman's, gross motor delays, hight tone extremities, low tone trunk, hypotonia, reflux and possibly more. Each glove was thirty dollars with shipping on top of that. This is expensive but I assure you they work and I will try to post a photo of Jewel wearing her gloves. It is worth saving up for these, maybe asking for birthday or Christmas gifts to go towards getting some of these items for your child.
When Jewel had her gloves on she instantly had the hand posture of a functional hand. This was very exiting and I did not want to send the gloves back but they were just a few cm too snug. We are checking the mail and can not wait for the return of her gloves. These gloves can be worn through out the day as well.
I am happy to share this information and I know that these products will help your child.
