Your student, Haley, is responding well to the Wilbarger brushing protocol. Her teacher questions the effectiveness of the technique, as it takes up time during the school day to complete it. What could you do to convince the teacher of the effectiveness of the protocol?
  1. Present the teacher with several case studies of students who have received the protocol at your school.
  2. Present the teacher with several research studies that support the effectiveness of the protocol.
  3. Refer the teacher to the OT department, which can present the teacher with evidence of the protocol’s effectiveness.
  4. All of the above.
Explanation
Answer: B. To convince the teacher, you could present him/her with several research studies that support the effectiveness of the protocol. If you present him/her with case studies from the school, he/she may view these as biased. You do not need to refer this task to the OT department. You can locate and present research to the teacher as evidence that the protocol is effective.
