The Wilbarger approach to the treatment of sensory defensiveness was developed by Patricia Wilbarger and is most commonly used by occupational therapists in the treatment of children with sensory defensiveness. The Wilbarger approach combines education, sensory diet strategies and professionally guided treatment and often, includes the Therapressure protocol. The Therapressure protocol has been known under many names; the most common include 'brushing' and the 'Wilbarger Protocol'.
The Wilbarger approach to the treatment of sensory defensiveness is comprised of three components. These include education and increasing awareness of sensory defensiveness and its symptoms, individualised sensory diet and an individualised professionally guided treatment program.
Please ask you therapist for more information on the Wilbarger Protocol.
Therapeutic Listening is a sound therapy home program designed by an occupational therapist, Sheila Frick. This very effective home program consists of modulated CD music with a required amount of listening that has to be completed on a daily basis.
Therapeutic Listening uses modulated and filtered music, prescribed by a trained therapist, individually selected for your child in combination with sensory integrative activities. Therapeutic Listening can provide positive changes in attention, regulation of sensation and behaviour, body awareness and control, and speech and language difficulties.
Brigid Auld is a fully trained Therapeutic Listening Practitioner. An initial consultation is required to ensure an appropriate program is chosen for your child. Follow up sessions are booked as required.
