Nawfal has shown a tremendous change ever since he was attached to an ASD class. At home, Nawfal has shown to be more disciplined. He knows his home routines and schedule well. Using First-Then schedule, has helped him to understand the time better in regards to what is to be done when. He is aware of his meal and bed times. He follows through the timings independently. Nawfal is also able to control and manage his emotions well. He communicates his needs and wants using the communication file, which was prepared and given to him by his teacher to use at home. Sometimes the decisions made at home may not be favorable to him, but he still follows through without any tantrums. He has learnt to self–regulate by sitting alone at the computer desk to calm himself down. During this Circuit Breaker period, I have explained to him that we will not be able to go out and we have to stay home. Nawfal did not show any anger or throw tantrums at all. He stays home and does his HBL given by his class teachers well and diligently.

My son, Maximus Lee started his journey in Minds Woodlands Garden (WGS) when he was 7 years old. Maximus is well liked in school and feels the love of many teachers, staff, and friends. Maximus always feels happy to attend school, as parents we can feel his happiness in WGS. Apart from the physiological well-being, the school started on structured teaching method for their ASD class. This structured teaching is essential and important in shaping and molding Maximus. He has learnt new skills, internalised them, and has been able to carry those skills over into other settings. He is more independent now and has shown improvement in focusing and giving eye contact when talked to. He is also learning skills which will help him in the future, he now cleans the table after his meal and folding clothes with him is a fun activity that we both enjoy. During this Circuit Breaker period, Maximus is doing Home Based Learning at home. The teachers are very concerned about his learning and have been calling us to check on him thrice a week. They even guided my helper through video call and video modelling on how to teach Maximus on his school work. My wife and myself are pleased with the progress and development of Maximus and we sincerely thank the school, Principal - Mr. Chong, Teachers - Ms. Santha, Ms Nadiah, Ms Zalinah, the Therapists and other WGS staff.
