    Decir que este lugar es maravilloso no sería suficiente para describir lo que siento acerca de las innovaciones de comportamiento. Mi hija sólo ha estado yendo durante 5 meses, y es una niña diferente. Las crisis casi han desaparecido, su habla y su confianza han mejorado. De todo corazón, gracias por vuestro gran trabajo y dedicación. Para nosotros, hay un antes y un después de BI. Muchas gracias.
