Seeking Advice for Putting on Starband

February 16, 2008

My daughter is on day 5 of wearing her Starband. So far so good

really. I'm having some problems getting it on correctly and find

myself taking it off and putting it on several times before I get the

alignment and fit right. The primary problem is that I get it too far

left or right and so that one of her ears is squished and one of the

sideburn pieces isn't on the right part of her cheek. Does that make

sense?

Does anyone have suggestions for getting it right the first time?

The first time I put on my son's helmet in the office, I didn't get it

on right either. The therapist said to line up the point on the

forehead piece with his nose. But the point, when it's on correctly,

doesn't line up with his nose, which is apparently what happens a lot

of the time to begin with until they grow into the band a little bit.

So I've found that if I line up his ear opening (opposite of the

velcro opening) and use that as my guide, it's a lot easier to get on

the right way the first time. Hope that helps!
