High Quality Treatments and Intervention Services
Launched in 2011, co-founded by Mr. Alex Liau Whatt Meng and Mr. Soh Yong Hao, Nurture Pods Pte Ltd is a trusted, leading and rapidly-growing early intervention centre based in Singapore, helping young children with disabilities live a good quality of life.

Nurture Pods Early Intervention CentreMr. Liau in partnership with his university friend, Mr. Soh, both an expert in Psychology, wanted to create a centre where children have easy and quick access to high quality treatments and intervention services. They wanted to provide children with the best care and services so that they could transition smoothly from special schools to proper and mainstream schools.

Mr. Liau is a certified professional from the Training Institute of Geneva Autism Centre, Canada. His Psychology degree from National University of Singapore has also helped him understand and gain deep knowledge about ABA (Applied Behavioural Analysts) therapy. He further acquired certification in RDI (Relationship Development Intervention) from Houston.

This helped him combine both therapies for creating effective and result-driven intervention programs for children with disabilities. He has been personally mentored by the leading psychologist Dr. Baker and Carol Gray (who is the creator of the teaching tool Social Stories designed for children with Autism). Besides this, he is also the 1st Singaporean who has the privilege of being the part of the SCERTS program.

Mr. Soh, on the other hand, holds a Masters degree in Psychology from the National University of Singapore. During his course of study, he engages in extensive literature reviews and research work in the field of psychology. He went for intensive TEACCH (Structured teaching) training and TEACCH advanced topics seminar held at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (USA) where he had the opportunity to work with the children in the program using TEACCH principles. The course has helped him to further develop his skills as TEACCH practitioner in working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families.

In addition, Mr. Soh went for advanced level Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) training and is currently the first and only Singaporean to be certified in implementing the PECS program.
