We started "The Wilbarger Protocol" with Aiden today.  Basically it is a series of deep pressure brush strokes on his arms, hands, back, legs and feet. Followed by joint compressions.  It releases serotonin in his brain and allows him to calm down and concentrate. Prozac for pre-schoolers. For the next 2 weeks we have to do this every 90 minutes except when he is sleeping. There has been SUCH a change in emotions, he's calmer, more relaxed but still so adventurous and a typical 4 year old boy.  It's exactly what we wanted for him.
