Bonding and Relaxation Techniques (BART) Training for ECI Staff - 28291

This training will teach early childhood professionals the importance of touch in the healthy growth and development of infants and children. Based on the parent education program of infant massage developed by Virnala McClure, BART is a program of stroking for individuals with, or at risk for, developmental delays. Designed to empower parents and instill parental confidence as well as nourish the bond between parent and child, BART aids in relaxation, normalization of muscle tone, respiratory and gastrointestinal functioning, sensory integration, and behavioral organization.
