Вот интересный отзыв со страницы ABR. Он от взрослого человека с совсем другим диагнозом, но может быть полезен тем, кто собирается развивать структуру лица, жевание, глотание и речь с помощью биомеханических методов:

"It's hard when a doctor you trust tells you that you've been diagnosed with a medically incurable condition.
It's heart-breaking when 7 neurologists sit back in their high back chairs, shake their heads and tell you there's nothing that can
done.
It kills the spirit when you've tried various traditional and non-traditional modalities and nothing seems to work, or when some things make your condition worse.
My name is Keith Tan, and I've walked through all of the above and more.
I have Oromandibular Dystonia.
In my case, it's muscle spasms of the jaw, tongue and neck.
When it first started, I was unable to chew or speak for almost a year. Opening the mouth meant getting stuck in an "open-mouth" position. Attempting to speak was so painful, it drew tears.
I missed speaking to my children, I missed being able to eat solid food and I missed the ability to take speech for granted.
What I had left was my family who loved and supported me unconditionally, my stubborn faith and the will to believe I could get better in spite of what medical professionals said.
I began looking
my condition holistically and made changes in my lifestyle, diet and supplementation regime. I eventually found a combination of drug free physical therapies, energy work and stretching exercises that halted the deterioration of my condition.
However, my visits to physical therapists were frequent and it was draining my savings and pushing my financial standing to the edge of a worrying abyss.
I had to find something that would allow me to self-help.
I was introduced to ABR
a friend who had dealings with them.
I met Leonid and Sarah for the first time, guarded, cynical and exhausted.
Leonid explained how ABR worked, and because of my years of delving in to find a cure, the ABR approach resonated with me.
I decided to give it a go.
In the 18 months that I've been on their programme, I've met Leonid and Sarah a total of 6 times for training and the rest of the time, I work on my own with the detailed instructions that they give me with the tools they supplied.
I plunged into the exercises and was diligent in keeping up with the simple, easy workouts.
18 months later. I now only see my physical therapists when I need to (When I have a sports related strain - Yes, I have gotten back into a more physically strenuous exercise routine) and have regained about 75% to 80% of normal function.
I have conversations with my children now and have even begun having social lunches with friends.
My life is on the mend and I am confident that given time, I will regain full function of my speech.
ABR works. Leonid has a gift and an insight into the workings of the human body like no one I've ever met.
I use the Bio-EQ gel in conjunction with the exercises and that brings a measure of relaxation to the muscles
well.
I wouldn't say ABR is a miracle cure-all. But given the dedication, commitment to the therapy and self-exercise regime, I'd say the ABR approach to rehabilitation produces profound results.
If you're reading this and feel it's too good to
true, then I encourage you to do this. Try everything else, then come with a healthy scepticism and try ABR.
Challenge it, test it, work
it.
I'm confident, in time, you too will
writing a testimonial like mine.
Wishing you the very best in your healing journey."
