The orientation date has been set and spots are filling up fast! Send an email to reserve your spot and ask specific questions. I will try to answer them all. The following are payment options for the upcoming More Than Words program starting in January:
For the Hanen Program only ($480), I do ask for payment up front. Participants are encouraged, not required, to attend all sessions. Payment at the start of the program encourages you (or loved ones) to attend all sessions and holds you responsible for your attendance to the program. Also, if you are not able to attend a session, you may send a substitute to sit in for you. The information in this program is valid for anyone who communicates with your child (family members, babysitter, teacher, etc.).
I realize that sometimes it is not possible to come up with the payment up front (especially right after the holidays) but I do not want this to deter you from coming to the program! So, I'm offering a holiday break and allowing participants with the Hanen Program Only option the same payment arrangement as the Hanen Program plus Intervention option.
For the Hanen Program plus 8 weeks of Intervention for your child, we allow participants to pay 1/2 at the start of the program and 1/2 at the midterm. We do not allow payment after services are rendered for the reasons mentioned above. Parent education is essential for any parent of a child with special needs. Again, you are encouraged to attend all of the sessions.
Parents are also encouraged to buy the companion book to the program. This can be purchased from http://www.hanen.org/ from their online store. Parents are given the option of a loan of the required companion book from our library. Borrowed books require a $53 refundable deposit in the form of check or cash. Should you choose to keep the text, your deposit will be cashed and used to replace the text for the next group. Should you return the book, the deposit will be returned to you. (I have not had a family yet who has returned the book..it's an easy read!)
Please feel free to email me any specific concerns you may have and keep checking the blog for updates! I look forward to answering your questions!
The Hanen Program for Parents
