Experience with Brushing Program (basically the Wilbarger protocol)?

Ds's EI therapists have recently decided they'd like me to try an occupational therapy brushing program with him, a version EI has adapted from the Wilbarger protocol. They want to see if it will improve DS's attention span. Just wondering if anyone else has tried this with their child and why, how it went, if it was successful, etc.
