      I have a 11-yr old daughter who has severely behavioral and developmental delays due to her Autism. We went through the two-week long "Intense functional biobehavioral program" after being on the waitlist for the program. We were so impressed by Dr. Boelter and his team. They were so kind and caring, very professional. The studies in the program were very well designed trying to pin point to the cause of my daughter's behavioral issues. I felt that Dr. Boelter quickly identified the key issues right to the point in the initial consultation. At the end of the program a comprehensive treatment guideline was written for us at home and for the teachers in my daughter's school. We saw the immediate improvement in my daughter's behaviors. More importantly we as parents had much better understanding and were much better prepared to handle the situations with Dr. Boelter's guidance and the following weekly follow ups. I have to admit it is very tough to be parents to an Autistic child, Dr. Boelter and his dedicated team has given us hope through their dedication, compassion and kindness. Thank you vey much.
