Dear Mr. Beer,

Diego was treated by you in April/May. Since then, Diego has made great progress, both at school and at home. We have much less stress and fewer arguments, and he now enjoys learning.

He can now transition to the 4th grade without any problems.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your wonderful support! We will gladly recommend you.

We wish you and your family a wonderful summer and send you our warmest regards.

The Huber Family, Zofingen

Time flies, and it's been a good two years now (March 2009) since the children first came to you for therapy. Now I'd like to tell you about Lukas.

Lukas spent his first two years of school with a very caring teacher. She used to be a special education teacher and gave the children plenty of time to learn. When I once asked her why Lukas brought home relatively good grades, she replied that she only gave them once all the children had mastered the material. Great, and ideal for Lukas.

At the beginning of the new school year, there was a change of teachers, and I was a little worried about the new situation. English is now part of the curriculum, and the children receive grades.

Lukas has surprised us all immensely; so far, he's only brought home grades of 6. He hasn't needed special education support for a long time.

Three years ago, I never would have imagined that Lukas would enjoy learning so much, be so good at it, and be so successful in school. Lukas always talks about you and wants to visit you.


At the beginning of the new school year, there was a change of teachers, and I was a little worried about the new situation. English is now part of the curriculum, and the children receive grades. I'm certain that your therapy has resolved the problem in Lukas's mind and made him receptive and ready to learn, especially for the start of school. Thank you so much!

We also saw good progress with Sandra after the first therapy session and the follow-up therapy (November 2010), so she started her first year of middle school very well and was able to maintain her performance.

At the moment, however, the effort and the results are no longer in line. She studies a lot and for long hours (she gets lost in the material, loses track), but her grades are rather mediocre. Perhaps she needs follow-up therapy? Or could the unfortunately frequent teacher changes (due to illness, death) be the cause?

Dear Mr. Beer

It's been about two months since we last saw each other. So, how have I been doing during this time?

After seeing you last time, things improved day by day. The problem was simply my sleep schedule 💤. But miraculously, about a week after your therapy, I was suddenly able to switch from night-day to day-night in a single day. My energy gradually returned. Before your therapy, it wasn't that I didn't want to, but rather that I simply couldn't. I lacked energy and strength.

After finishing my treatment with you, I continued with GIA (Community Integrated Acute Treatment) about two weeks later. Mentally, I felt great, but I wanted to find the best possible solution to reintegrate myself into work, my circle of friends, my family, etc., after a break of about two and a half months.

I've been back at work full-time for two weeks now.

I was amazed at how good I felt on my first day back at work. (As if nothing had happened.)

That's why I went back to studying full-time from day one.

I even feel like my concentration at work is much higher than before. I need a lot more distraction.

I want to thank you sincerely and wish you all the best 🍀

I am very grateful and fascinated by your therapy.

Happy New Year 2017 🎉

Our nine-year-old daughter suffers—and I emphasize suffers—from ADHD. It's really taking a toll on her! Sitting still and concentrating on her work is almost impossible; she always has to be doing something.

At school, Lea was struggling to keep up with the material, and at home, there was nothing but stress with homework and too little time for leisure, games, and fun. The whole family was suffering. Teachers and therapists increasingly asked if it might be worth considering medication. A sensitive topic for us: medication for a nine-year-old child.

Is it really necessary?

Our psychomotor therapist recommended that we look into AVWF (Audio-Visual Perception Therapy). Of course, we immediately contacted Mr. Beer and had a very pleasant and understandable conversation, and we quickly realized that this could be a real opportunity for Lea.

The 10-day commitment is absolutely manageable, and Lea clearly enjoyed it. Although I was initially worried—sitting still for an hour and listening to music would normally be impossible for Lea—it turned out to be no problem at all.

The first three weeks, especially after the therapy, were extremely stressful. Lea exhibited behaviors that were almost more challenging than before. Mr. Beer reassured us, saying it was "normal." Fortunately, that subsided. Her concentration improved significantly, and her interactions with other children became much more social. Of course, there were still difficult days, even weeks, when I had to ask Mr. Beer for advice, but he always reassured us and explained that every "progress" has to be earned, and that's just how it is.

After a joint meeting with her teacher and the psychomotor therapist, both confirmed that a positive change had occurred. Imagine that, within seven months—isn't that fantastic?

Lea has remained Lea. Of course, she's "fitter" than many of her classmates, but she can now focus her concentration much better and is fully present when needed. We no longer have any stress about homework; she now does it independently and rarely needs our help, and her self-esteem has improved significantly.

We highly recommend the AVWF program; it was exactly what Lea needed.

AVWF Parent Report

In the midst of an incredible school odyssey, a newspaper article in the fall of 2007 drew our attention to AVWF. Therapy began in mid-January 2008.

Brief summary from the parents/foster parents at the end of April 2008:

Foster son, 14, diagnosed with ADHD and cognitive impairment in all areas

The foster parents observe:

He participates in conversations, understands humor, and gives witty replies.

He questions expressions he previously understood completely differently.

Understanding and completing tasks is now easy for him.

Working independently has become second nature, which increases his interest and self-confidence.

The quality of life within the family has significantly improved.

The foster son observes:

I can concentrate better and for longer periods.

At school, I now understand tasks and can therefore complete them independently.

Checking tasks multiple times is no longer necessary, which makes me faster.

I can think faster.

Background noise no longer distracts me and doesn't bother me at all.

I can only play computer games for short periods now; after that, I find them annoying.

Interacting with colleagues who used to be difficult is now enjoyable.

Before the AVWF (Auditory Processing Therapy), I was sometimes a bit outspoken.

My 15-year-old daughter was diagnosed with dyscalculia and concentration difficulties, and also with mild ADHD.

Three weeks after the first therapy session, I received unexpected feedback from her teacher:

She is more motivated.

She works more conscientiously.

She can concentrate better.

The parents notice:

She is more resilient and less easily irritated.

She is much calmer.

School and learning are suddenly fun, and her thirst for knowledge has been awakened.

She is no longer falling behind in her dance class (the dance teacher asked what had happened and whether she was taking dance lessons elsewhere).

She is more organized.

My daughter remarks:

I can concentrate much better.

I no longer let myself get distracted.

Background noises no longer bother me; I don't even notice them anymore, and therefore I'm not distracted.

Things I didn't understand before are no longer a problem for me, for example, algebra.

Life is much more fun because everything is easier.

Life is beautiful. It's funny when everything is so simple.

Dear Mr. Beer,

First of all, I would like to say that Jessica's development over the past seven months has been very positive. She can read much better than before and has, for the first time, begun to enjoy reading.

Her spelling is steadily improving.

This allows her to concentrate better on her homework. We are very grateful for this!

It's been over six months since my two sons, Stefan and Konrad, were with you. The therapy is having an amazing effect.

The teacher reports that Stefan has made great progress in reading. In fact, he can now read aloud flawlessly for 15 minutes. What a difference compared to six months ago, when he stumbled over every sentence, mixed up syllables, and left out endings!

The improvement in Konrad's reading ability is absolutely remarkable. Until April of this year, he could barely read a complete sentence; writing was torture. And now he reads almost as well as Stefan!

Konrad has also made further progress in his social life. He's open to others and enjoys playing ball on a team!

Both of them still need Ritalin, though.

Daniel has been able to build a circle of friends, which is also completely new for him! I've noticed a difference in myself as well, especially when it comes to finding the right words for conversations with more complex content (lectures, presentations, or even just conversations at work). I experience the hustle and bustle of everyday life with much more composure than before.

I am so grateful to you!

I promised you feedback a long time ago. However, for various reasons, I can only send it to you now. I was in therapy with you in September 2012. Immediately afterward, several changes occurred in my life, which made it difficult to compare before and after.

Furthermore, my health is always at its worst in the summer. Therefore, I couldn't draw any conclusions from the winter either.

But now I would like to tell you what I have observed:

Traffic:

I can now react more quickly to situations. Before, I sometimes felt caught off guard and didn't have enough time to react.

Work:

I keep my house much tidier. I organize my tidying and cleaning tasks more efficiently and complete them more effectively.

Interactions with others:

I notice earlier than before when I fall back into unfavorable behavior patterns. I can also accept more criticism from those around me in this regard. I can practice new behaviors more easily. I am also surprised that—despite the weight gain—men are paying more attention to me.

Anxiety:

The anxiety that used to overwhelm me whenever I had to go down somewhere has lessened.

When it does occur, I can control and manage it better.

Health:

I didn't expect my symptoms to disappear completely as a result of the therapy. And they didn't. But my symptoms and limitations weren't as severe in the summer of 2013 as usual. This allowed me to do things that weren't possible before. I'm very happy that I now have more freedom of movement. For example, I'm increasing it by using the balcony less because I have more opportunities to go outside.

I also got through the summer of 2014 well and was able to exercise more than in previous years. This summer, the problem wasn't the heat, but the high humidity and a change of job. But I was able to cope with that too.

So I'm very satisfied with the results and can recommend this therapy.

If you wish, you are welcome to use my feedback in anonymized form.

Dear Mr. Beer

I've been wanting to tell you for a long time how I've been doing since my therapy with you. The first few days were awful. Even before therapy, I thought I couldn't go on, and afterward, it was even worse. Thinking became incredibly difficult; I couldn't even touch-type anymore. I was constantly making typos, mixing up words, and everything was a complete mess. Driving was also a problem because I had lost all feeling in my legs and feet, so the ride with me was rather bumpy. :) This all lasted about a month, and then it started... I wasn't so tired anymore, my face started to look cheerful again, and I felt much fresher and fitter overall. What I like most, and what I've noticed most, is that I've rediscovered myself. I'm myself again. Which isn't just a good thing, but it feels good nonetheless.

This doesn't mean that I'm now completely reverting to the old "mistakes" that I painstakingly unlearned. Now it's time to learn something new, but it also gives me the chance to rethink what exactly needs revising and what's simply part of who I am. The biggest change of all for me is that I've completely rediscovered my passion for sewing. I've even started a website and created a label; if you'd like, you can check it out at (web address). Before therapy, I enjoyed sewing, but I didn't have the stamina or energy for it. Whenever I wanted to do something, I lacked the creativity and energy, and after 15 minutes, I'd lose interest. Right now, I'm fighting against the boundless energy I'm bursting with. I'm extremely hyperactive and would love to sew, knit, create a website, bake, and do everything at once, and then immediately start on the next thing... and that's not good; it stresses me out and makes me tense. If I'm alone on a Sunday because my partner is working, I get up at 8:00 a.m. and sit down at the sewing machine. I couldn't sleep at all because I couldn't wait to sew. When I start sewing in my room, it's suddenly dark outside, and I don't even realize I've been sewing for so long. Last Friday, I resolved to go to bed by midnight at the latest. Suddenly it was 2:30 in the morning, and I hadn't noticed because I was so engrossed in my work. I absolutely have to force myself to take breaks now, otherwise I can't relax. I can't sit in front of the TV in the evenings and do nothing; it bores me to tears. I've gone from one extreme to the other, so to speak. This one is obviously much more pleasant; I just have to learn how to handle it.

Life has become so much easier for me!

I wish you a wonderful day.

Warm regards,

Ruth Zinniker

I regularly woke up in the middle of the night gripped by a deep fear of not seeing morning. As a department head, I knew the warning signs of burnout, but for a long time, I thought they were manageable. The day I felt dizzy in the middle of a quarterly meeting, it became clear where seven years of constant stress had led me.

Looking back, many factors came together: my father's leukemia, managing several international projects with 16 to 18-hour workdays, complex challenges with our investment strategies, and on top of that, personal stress at home. Add to that my perfectionism, my inability to say no, and the fact that I defined my worth solely through professional success. All of this ultimately led to my complete breakdown.

The fresh start began with two months in a burnout clinic—there was no alternative, as everyday life had become impossible to manage. Even a short car ride was too much; I could barely see if someone was standing at the crosswalk. Analyzing numbers and data, once my daily bread, became impossible. I could barely shower in the mornings; even shaving was too strenuous. The physical exhaustion went hand in hand with deep depression and thoughts of ending it all.

I was unable to work for over a year. Intensive therapy sessions helped me rebuild my life. Things improved, but something was still missing.

During a routine appointment for new contact lenses, Mr. Beer immediately noticed that something was wrong. "You're completely out of balance," he told me. This surprised me because I hadn't mentioned my condition to him; he could see it in my eyes. When he told me about his therapy, I felt: This is exactly what I need. After a thorough consultation, I decided to go ahead with the treatment, and it was important to me that I wouldn't have to take any additional medication.

The audiovisual sensory stimulation was truly pleasant and relaxing. I felt I was in excellent hands the entire time. The first results appeared very quickly: After two years, I was able to attend concerts again without panicking. I could concentrate better and for longer periods at work. Meeting friends and acquaintances became possible again, something that had previously been almost impossible. My well-being has improved significantly, and I am truly glad to have met Mr. Martin Beer at the right time.

Mr. Beer, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful work! And to everyone reading this: Have the courage to accept your illness and seek help. You don't have to face everything alone!

Hello Mr. Beer

It's been five weeks since the end of the AVWF (Action Reduction and Functional Therapy), and I wanted to tell you how things are going.

Right after the therapy, we hardly recognized Daniel. So much has changed. He was completely calm, content, and relaxed. He's never had such a wonderful birthday; I think he was able to enjoy it for the first time—and so were we :-). Gradually, however, old and new behavioral patterns crept back in. Around Christmas, he became quite spiteful again, and his threshold for irritation was very low. He also had outbursts again, but never to the extent of before. During the Christmas holidays, I think he was totally under-stimulated; he missed school. What we've noticed is that Daniel is often hyperactive. He sings loudly and talks a lot—he didn't do that before. I think he's now found another outlet to release the feelings he used to bottle up. His licking of the corners of his mouth has improved significantly; he only does it now when he's very excited, insecure, or nervous. His motor skills have also improved significantly, as has his posture. He now sits calmly and upright in his chair while doing his homework and is increasingly completing it independently. He no longer wets the bed, and I haven't noticed him grinding his teeth at night. It's also noticeable that he can laugh at jokes or even at himself and no longer takes everything personally or gets offended.

On difficult days, we get impatient and have to constantly remind ourselves how much better—and in some areas even very good—everything is going. Daniel has definitely become much more cooperative and content, and we are very grateful for that.

Until the next update, I wish you all the best and a wonderful weekend!

Warm regards,

B. L.

Hello Mr. Beer

Now I can write the report. Pia has been very stable for some time now. We're doing Schüssler salt therapy with her, and she's responding quite well to it. Pia has received many compliments from her teachers lately, which is naturally very encouraging for her. As you may have already heard from Ms. Mettler, Pia will be participating in a large group therapy program after the summer holidays, which will certainly help her with her social skills. Her report card turned out great too, with a 5 in math and a 5.5 in German. We're so glad we've taken this approach. Thanks again for the tip about the mineral salts. It also shows me that there is a way for Pia to manage without Ritalin. I'm absolutely convinced of that now, and we're sticking with it.

Report for your website:

Our nine-year-old daughter suffers – and I emphasize suffers – from ADHD. It's really taking a toll on her! Sitting still and concentrating on work is almost impossible; she always has to be doing something.

At school, Pia was struggling to keep up with the material, and at home, there was nothing but stress with homework and too little time for leisure, games, and fun. The whole family was suffering.

We highly recommend AVWF; it was exactly what Pia needed.

Have a wonderful summer and best regards,

Dear Mr. Beer

I'm happy to give you my initial feedback after Sofia's therapy. Three months have passed, and we are simply so happy!

I don't even know where to begin. We had an intense time, but I don't mean that in a negative way.

We did indeed experience the delayed, defiant phase that was predicted. It was very difficult, but it passed relatively quickly. Shortly after the therapy, we went on vacation for three weeks, and suddenly the whole situation was different. In a new place, the whole family together, and no fixed daily routine. I think that also contributed to it. Nevertheless, we knew what had triggered Sofia's defiant behavior.

Only after the therapy ended did we realize how passive Sofia actually was in her perception of life. She is only six years old, and we assumed that Sofia was simply very shy and reserved. But the way we experience her now, that's not the case at all.

Sofia has developed a great deal in these three months, not only mentally but also physically. We can't say whether this is related to the therapy or not. But ultimately, it doesn't matter, because it's simply wonderful to witness! Sofia is currently going through a growth spurt, and her previously rather childlike face is changing dramatically. She's not eating like a champion yet, but she has a healthy appetite and has finally gained some weight.

The bedwetting has stopped. It happened once during these three months, but it's nothing to worry about.

Her social behavior has completely changed. Sofia has become very outgoing. I've noticed this particularly in her facial expressions. I always felt like there was no life in her eyes. Her gaze always seemed so dull. Now Sofia is present, and you can see joy, sadness, or whatever it may be in her expression. Her impulsive behavior, especially towards her little sister, has improved significantly. The problem was often that Sofia—as we now know—would come home from kindergarten very frustrated and then take that frustration out on her sister. That has completely disappeared.

On August 10, 2015, she had her first day of school, and so far everything is going wonderfully! I had serious concerns that Sofia would have difficulty learning to write due to her lack of fine motor skills. These concerns have proven unfounded. She receives very positive feedback from her teacher, such as "Very nice" and "Well done." She always does her homework independently and always knows exactly what she has to do. I've noticed that her comprehension is astonishing. I don't have to repeat anything to her anymore (unless she doesn't want to hear it ;-). As far as I can tell, she has settled in well with the class. She no longer focuses on just one child; she plays with several. She really enjoys going to school, is becoming more and more self-confident, and is finally making friends.

Before the therapy, playing with other children was always very noisy, and Sofia was excluded after a short time. That has also completely disappeared; one mother even approached me and asked what had happened to Sofia. I was so happy because Sofia was always the troublemaker, and now she isn't anymore. I am so proud and relieved. Finally, others see Sofia for who she truly is.

The first evaluation meeting with her teacher is in a month. I'm eager to hear what she has to say.

Our initial conclusion is that the therapy was a complete success and has enabled our daughter to lead a completely normal life. Now she has the chance to show what a wonderful girl she is and what she's capable of. Things are really looking up!

So, Mr. Beer, that's our update. I'll be happy to get back in touch with you in three months, once the six months since the therapy have passed.

We all want to thank you again for everything! We often think of you, and Sofia remembers you very well too!

Warm regards from sunny Aargau

Good afternoon, Mr. Beer.

Today our daughter Fabienne received her vocational school diploma.

Good to very good grades and graduated top of her class!

You laid the foundation! Ten hours that changed her life!

Fabienne is diligent and has caught up on her (previous) knowledge gaps. But AVWF played a crucial role in enabling Fabienne to now follow the lessons and absorb and retain 90% of the material, achieving this goal with normal (but consistent) effort!

Seeing and experiencing this brings joy every day! ...for six years now!

Thank you so much.

All the best!

Warm regards,

M. U.

---

Even after eight years: I'm still thrilled!

Good afternoon, Mr. Beer.

Thank you so much.

Even after eight years!

Fabienne has successfully completed her first year at the Zug University of Teacher Education and has two more years to go before graduating as a primary school teacher!

Without AVWF (Auditory Processing and Learning) and dyslexia support, this demanding career path would hardly have been so successful.

Whenever I hear about perceptual difficulties, I mention AVWF.

Most people are more than surprised!

I know that it has also helped in another case, as one of my students told me (after two years).

Warm regards,

M. U.

Dear Mr. Beer

First of all, I would like to thank you for your help. It was always very pleasant to listen to calming music for an hour after work and drift into a light sleep.

Regarding my problems, which alerted my mother to my perceptual difficulties: I was very often "out of it." This manifested as distractibility, apathy, confusion, and inattentiveness. When someone spoke to me, they couldn't be sure that I had understood what was being said. I often gave answers to questions that, after a few minutes, I didn't even remember 1) having been asked and 2) having answered. I could no longer distinguish between important and unimportant information and tried to cling to every piece of information so tightly that I often stored and reproduced it completely incorrectly. I often complained of poor vision; my eyes felt completely strained. This problem also gave me the feeling that I was only seeing life passing me by through a bubble. Over time, I also noticed that things were getting a bit out of control. My schedule was often very chaotic, as I sometimes forgot several appointments or had two at the same time. My studies suffered considerably as well. I had difficulty concentrating at work. Despite my best efforts, I often made silly mistakes. For a while, my academic performance suffered, which further unsettled me. From that moment on, I realized that I couldn't solve my problem alone. You reach a point where you no longer know what to do and only see the problems and mistakes in everyday life. You could say that these perceptual disturbances can really take a toll on your stomach.

Before the actual treatment began, my hearing, vision, information processing, and processing speed were tested. It was determined that I had problems processing auditory information. I was very slow for my age, about as fast as a 10- to 12-year-old schoolgirl. Even after the first few treatments, I felt my body begin to adjust. After a few treatments, I noticed that my mind became very active, even though I wasn't doing anything. The entire course of treatment lasted two weeks, during which I "trained" for an hour every evening, except on weekends.

Immediately after the training, I was thrilled to see that my eyes could see really sharply and clearly. I could suddenly focus on one thing at a time and notice details I hadn't even seen before. After a while, the constant eye strain subsided. Now I can concentrate better on the essentials in class and at work. My grades have improved, and I'm actively participating in everyday life again. I've also noticed that I can concentrate better and react more quickly when playing floorball. I owe all of this largely to the perception training, because without this stimulus, I would still have significant concentration problems.

Good afternoon, Mr. Beer

We would like to briefly update you on Martin's progress, even though his follow-up treatment was only two weeks ago.

As early as Saturday, after spending just two hours with you, Martin happily discovered that he understood the "Tagesschau" (Germany's main evening news program) for the first time. Before, he had only ever heard the "Tagesschau," even though he knew he was supposed to understand it. This always made him angry.

This afternoon, he came home from school and said happily, "I've somehow recharged my batteries. I can listen much better. I can concentrate more on my work, and I've become calmer again. I also understand much better what I have to do. Everything is easier for me."

In the evening, we sat together on the sofa for at least 30 minutes, surrounded by art books, and talked about painters and periods in painting. This is, of course, the topic they are currently covering in school. However, we are amazed at how intensely Martin is interested in it and how he is absorbing everything like a sponge.

After the conversation, my husband looked at me, shook his head, and said, "It's unbelievable what AVWF has accomplished!"

We're excited to see what the future holds! Thank you so much!

Sincerely,

U. G.

Report from Judith and Ernst Scheidegger

Dear Mr. Beer

A few weeks have passed since our children, Judith and Ernst, came to you for tutoring. We keep noticing new improvements; for example,

Judith: It's a joy to see how confidently she's been skiing this winter. She's been able to get out of the snowplow turn and skis down the slope quickly.

She can laugh heartily at the pranks at school. She can also speak up now when she doesn't like something. We hadn't seen that before.

Ernst: Reading is basically no longer a problem for him. It's still not his favorite activity, but we didn't expect it to be. We are very grateful that he now understands the content whenever he wants to read something. Since the tutoring, he hasn't made a single mistake in his dictations. Before, he couldn't write a dictation without errors, no matter how much we practiced at home.

I am always fascinated to watch him write. He can now hear the letters when he says a word to himself.

The swimming issue is unrelated. He's still too afraid to let go and trust the water. He probably needs a little more time for that, but we're happy to give him that time.

We were delighted to hear that you'll soon be giving a lecture in Walterswil. We sincerely hope that your therapeutic method, which continues to fascinate us, will be well received.

I'm constantly amazed at how little our teachers understand your system. During parent-teacher conferences, we hear things like, "If he needs it again, just go back to Mr. Beer," even though we've explained several times that this therapy usually has a lasting effect.

We wish you all the best and remain,

Sincerely,

Rudolf and Marianne Scheidegger, Walterswil
