APPLICATION FORM

"Yesterday, I attended a Seminar that was held at Queenstown area by a renowned psychologist of Singapore. I was positively overwhelmed and blown away by what I had learnt!

This speaker, Dr Fred Toke (PhD Psychology), was well versed with the anatomy and physiology of the brain of a child. He talked on the various brain abnormalities that are typical of ADHD child and how video gamings are actually inducing the kind of brain development similar to that of a ADHD child. Even though I am a medical doctor by training, this well-trained psychologist managed to impress me by the depth of medical psychology that he possessed."
