Oh I'm glad to hear it, Doris! That's a wonderful book. I remember reading it when my son was about 2.5 and just being shocked at how well it described him and his symptoms. Good luck to you! I have a great OT certified in sensory integration and if you'd like to share information on therapies, I'd be happy to. Do you do the Willbarger brushing?

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2002 Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 The Out-of-Sync Child by Carol Kranowitz. Our local library had it, but I'm sure Amazon.com would also.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 This is a particular technique using a specifically designed brush (has lots of soft nylon hairs) where the body is brushed in particular directions and using certain pressure to help regulate an over sensory system. A good OT will train you to do this. It is used as part of a " sensory diet " as part of an OT program.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 I believe you're referring to the Wilbarger Protocol. We use it on our son (4yrs, PDD-NOS, SID) and it really helps relax him. Several of his therapists also practice the protocol and they showed us. Just search the web for Wilbarger Protocol and you should find lots of information. Books on Sensory Integration Disorder sometimes talk about it too. Here's one of the sites I found searching on it: http://pbb.net/wilbarger_brushing_protocol.htm As some one else pointed out (and the link I included says): To use this technique with out instruction from a trained therapist could be harmful at the extreme, and at the minimum, completely useless.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 Hi Doris, I found a few things that I'll put together and post. There is a spectrum of pathogens linked to GBS. That seems to be the problem with all of these disorders. Even though the same process is involved, our genetic make-up determines what we are susceptable to and how our body reacts. The sensory link is probably due to the type of cells that are susceptable to herpes viruses like CMV. It's like chicken pox, the virus remains dormant in the nerve cells and can reactivate later when the immune system is stressed. Another way there can be sensory problems is from something like PANDAS where the antibodies cross-react with the part of the brain that includes the sensory/motor area. My son has really bad sensory/motor problems when his OCD flairs. His motor skills deteriorated during the years that I couldn't find anyone to help us. Are you doing allergy shots? That was the first treatment we tried (two years of shots and diet) and during that time my younger son developed the PANDAS type symptoms on top of the ASD. Sometimes I wonder if the immune shift or stimulation is what made him susceptable. Or if he would have developed symptoms regardless.
