Do you mean fidget spinners ? They have worked for a short time with a couple of our clients with dementia. I have found that the fidget cubes have worked better and are easy to hold in the hand.

Thanks Erica. I think they are different but you have answered my question, they work for a short time and that is what I have found.
We found the muffs and pillows with buttons and bells caused a problem with low cognative people as they could pull these items off and put them in their mouths.
I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
