Hanen “More Than Words” Parent Training
Practical strategies you can use in everyday situations
This program is designed for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder or social communication difficulties ages 5 and under. The goal of the More Than Words program is to empower parents to facilitate their child’s communication and language development during everyday routines and activities.
The More Than Words program focuses on your natural, day-to-day life with your child. You’ll discover how to take everyday activities like meal time, story time and bath time and use them to help your child improve his communication and social skills. And you’ll have fun together while you’re doing it!
The More Than Words approach is easy to understand and easy to put into practice. With every strategy you learn, you’ll be given ample opportunity to practice and discuss it so that you won’t forget it.
