One of the simplest yet most innovative methods for helping parents bond with their special needs children is Bonding and Relaxation Techniques (BART). Addressing the child's need for parental interaction, Bonding and Relaxing Techniques uses gentle and loving touch to communicate security and self-worth to special needs children and adults.

Based on the parental education theories of Virnala McClure, the Bonding and Relaxation Techniques approach was developed by Evelyn Guyer. Guyer's innovations in infant massage techniques and therapy have long been renowned as beneficial to those with special needs. Some therapists believe that her attentive outreach through massage has created new possibilities for parents who once had few hopes of connecting with their deaf, blind, deafblind, or otherwise-disabled children.
