Wilbarger Therapressure Protocol
Wilbarger Therapressure protocol certified: The Wilbarger Protocol (Wilbarger, 1991) is a specific, professionally guided treatment regime designed to reduce sensory defensiveness. The Wilbarger Protocol has its origins in sensory integration theory, and it has evolved through clinical use. The OT must be trained in sensory integration and must be specifically trained to use the Wilbarger Protocol. Patricia Wilbarger, M.Ed., OTR, FAOTA, an internationally recognized expert who specializes in the assessment and treatment of sensory defensiveness, developed this technique. (Retrieved from
