Therapressure Brush for Wilbarger Protocol

The Therapressure Brush is a palm-sized brush meant for the Wilbarger Protocol. The Wilbarger Protocol is a therapy program designed to reduce sensory or tactile defensiveness. Children who exhibit symptoms of tactile defensiveness are extremely sensitive to touch. This can cause a fear or resistance to being touched, difficulty transitioning between activities, and/or lethargy. If you think that your child would benefit from the Wilbarger Protocol, it is important to seek guidance from an Occupational Therapist. The OT must be trained in sensory integration and must be specifically trained to use the Wilbarger Protocol.
