Our Happy Parents
Here’s what our parents say about us
My son has greatly benefited from the school shadow support and intensive home based programme provided by Nurture Pods. For the past 10 months, we have observed visible behavioural changes both at home and in school. Alex and his team of committed therapists are thorough with their game plan, and work closely with parents and teachers in their execution. They make good observations and are quick to intervene and devise new strategies to manage the situations. We would like to commend Nurture Pods for their excellent services.
— Shannon, Parent
My son is coping with mainstream school work and is able to understand the social demands on him, thanks to the help Alex Liau and his team mate have been giving us over the years. Alex’s experience as an ABA therapist and his patience in dealing with children with learning difficulties have greatly benefited my child.
— L.P, Parent
We like to thank Alex and his team from Nurture Pods for their help in giving great advice in regards to our two girl ASD condition. My two girls had gone through ABA therapy, shadow teachers as well as social therapy with Nurture Pods. Alex and his team gave very constructive suggestions on how to manage my girls behaviour in class, public and also able to share many good strategies for us to embrace and give us hope to manage them better. Most importantly, Alex zealous passion in Special Needs is shown clearly as he is always very responsive in every of our questions. To the extent that it robs his personal time. We are truly grateful for Alex for his help. We will always recommend other parents to Nurture Pods due to their wealth of knowledge of special needs.
