The Wilbarger Protocol is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals with sensory processing disorders, particularly those with conditions like autism or sensory integration dysfunction. Developed by Dr. Patricia Wilbarger, this protocol involves a series of sensory activities aimed at improving a person's ability to process sensory information. The protocol typically includes techniques such as deep pressure touch, brushing the skin with a specific tool, and engaging in various sensory activities. These methods are intended to reduce sensory defensiveness and enhance overall sensory integration, allowing individuals to better cope with everyday sensory experiences.
