Sufian (Dad of child with ASD)

My son N has a speech delay so we decided to enrol him in speech therapy. It has been almost six months since we engaged speech therapist Nicole and we are already seeing improvements in his communications. When before he would simply pull our hands and cry when he wanted something, he now uses more communication tools to tell us what he wants. Nicole also actively engages us so that we can follow-up at home as well. We have no hesitation to highly recommend Nicole to any parents looking for a speech therapist!

SY (mum of J and J, child with ASD/ DLD)

Daniel came highly recommended to us by a friend who had also engaged him. And we are so glad we took up the recommendation and engaged him to help our son, Julian, with his speech delays. In Daniel's sessions, not only does he work on speech, but he also applies cross-discipline techniques to help Julian reduce his impulsiveness and to increase attention span. Julian has been with "Teacher Daniel" for a year now and he has progressed from 2 word sentences to long conversational sentences. We have also entrusted our 2nd son to Daniel for early intervention.

We highly recommend Daniel to anyone who is looking for an experience therapist with a great heart for his clients.

Phua (Mum of J, child with GDD)

My son has been attending Daniel’s speech therapy regularly since June this year and within 3 months, my son’s memory, psychomotor skills, articulation, and vocabulary bank have improved heaps. Thanks to Daniel’s professional skills, I can see that my son is now more confident in communicating. He is speaking louder and is getting more responsive. He is also able to read aloud a book on his own. My son has really enjoyed Daniel’s lessons as he is always engaging him in fun activities. I am truly appreciative of Daniel’s patience and care for my son, and I strongly recommend Daniel to parents who are looking for a professional speech therapist.

Mei Boon (Mum of child with ASD and Apraxia)

My son is 5 years old with ASD and has been with Daniel for over a year. He was non-verbal until 4 years old. He also has apraxia of speech which makes it difficult for him to pronounce words properly.
Under the care of Daniel, over the course of 1 year, he has shown significant improvement.
He is now able to request for food, items, help, name colors, know his prepositions and even his pronunciation has improved.
Daniel has his unconventional way to make the session fun and engaging. The session is not only table work but also around the room.

Ashlyn (Mum of child with GDD and Syndrome)

Our soon- to-be- 5 year old has been with Daniel since he turned 2. Daniel was the second speech language therapist we have engaged and we never regret to stick with him ever since.

He is extremely good with young children, positive, quick witted and adopts much flexibility during the lessons. We can feel that he is passionate about his work and never fails to bring constructive advices to parents (and even to those whom did not manage to engage him).

In a nutshell, our son has shown much improvement in his speech over the years, from being non-verbal to a little chatterbox now. Daniel is probably just cut out to be a speech therapist and I would highly recommend him to parents looking for a speech therapist.

Felicia L (Mum of YH, child with ASD)

I tried several speech therapist before I met Teacher Daniel. He came strongly recommended by a friend. We have been with him since & it has been a year. He is like God-sent. We saw improvements immediately within the first few months with both the receptive & spoken language.

I particularly like his systemic approach with clear step by step instructions to help the kid reach their goal. He is very creative & works with the tools available in your house to turn them into very interesting & fun exercises for the kids.

Chemistry between a Teacher & a student is important as it as can aid or hinder growth. Teacher Daniel has a personality which kids are drawn towards, a natural affinity with kids. My son really likes him & remembers which day of the week is class with Teacher Daniel. We are lucky to have found him.

Chelsea (Mum of D with DLD and hearing loss)

Our 6 year old boy, Dylan, has been with Daniel since 2018. We're actually very sad to stop sessions, but Teacher Daniel affirmed that Dylan is ready to develop at his own pace now, and we trust Daniel.

We actually got to know Teacher Daniel by chance, when he stood in for another therapist who was unwell. In that very first session, we saw how well Daniel connected with Dylan, and how he made therapy so fun for a 4 year old, we were simply in awe of him. Just with 1 session, Dylan would keep requesting if he could see Teacher Daniel again.

Starting therapy with Teacher Daniel was one of the best decisions we have made for Dylan, as we see him working his magic with him through the years. That 6 months delay had no impact on Dylan's speech development at all, because he flourished under Teacher Daniel's guidance.

Dylan has bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and is fitted with hearing aids since 7 months old, he also had a submucous cleft palate which was corrected at 2.5 years old. After recovering from surgery, he had regular speech therapy but had little or no progress, until we met Daniel.

Daniel's professional knowledge is not limited to just speech therapy. He has a deep understanding of children's psychological behaviour, and he is able to analyse behaviour/issues/situations, and work together with us to formulate a solution in the child's best interest. Most importantly, he was able to translate his professional knowledge into something that we could understand as parents, and use it to help Dylan.

Daniel is really the best speech therapist that any child and parent could ever have, and it is our blessing to have crossed paths with him and have him teach Dylan for 2 years.

Thank you for all the hard work & heart work with Dylan, thank you for being such a kind and caring Teacher, thank you for your understanding and patience with us, thank you for being so passionate in what you do. We hope for more children to go through your guidance, so that they'll flourish like Dylan did.

My 2 year old really looks forward to his session with Daniel! He gets super excited to see him every other Monday. Daniel is very engaging and animated, and he has his way of keeping my son’s attention and focus to complete a task. In just 3 months my son went from completely non-verbal to saying about 4-5 words and communicating with sign language, and his attention span has also increased over the past few months using the strategies/tools recommended by Daniel. I highly recommend him!

Christie (Mum of child with ASD)

My son has speech delay and we are fortunate to engage Teacher Daniel to help his speech problems. He went from speaking only a few words to being able to say more words and now he became confident in his speech.

Teacher Daniel is very patient guy who can engage my son so well. He enjoys his lesson and looking forward his therapy session every time. He also give me some professional advices when I face some challenge with my son.

To me it is very important if the therapist can engage well with the children. I am so grateful that my son is under his guidance and thank you so much for his patience in teaching him.
