wilbarger protocol, anyone? | ADHD Information
What is it?.IMac38945.495625It is very intensive, It has to be done every 2 hours plus other exercises in between. We have a soft scrub brush that we rub firmly his ams, back and legs( also hands and feet ) then we do joint compressions with ALL his joints to the count of 10. The whole process only takes about5-10 minutes. The other stuff takes longer, but it is more fun for him. We do wheelbarrel and fake pushups he has hardly any upper body strength. We also do a lot of crawling forward and backward ,again, alot of trouble for him. I think I am strting to see some generalized calming of his persona. We are supposed to keep this going for about 2 wekks.I didn't know it had name, but a co-worker of mine does that with her son, he is autistic, sensory integration dysfunktion, and other disabilities. She said it helps him a lot. Our OT suggested this protocol and we have beendoing pretty faithfully for a couple days now. Anyone tried this? Any results?
