Hello Hanen community!
The current More Than Words program is at mid-term! All families are doing so well...thanks for attending so consistently. :) We've discussed and implemented the following communication strategies:
Follow your child's lead
Observe, wait, and listen (OWL)
The Four I's-Intrude, imitate, interpret, include (your child's interest)
R.O.C.K.-Repeat, offer opportunity, cue, keep it fun
The Four S's-Say less, stress, go slow, show
Our video feedback sessions have also been very successful. After session 5 we will have learned all the strategies and will use the rest of the program to practice implementation of the strategies and brainstorm functional activities to do at home. Keep up the great work, Families! :)
The Hanen Program for Parents
More Than Words (MTW): More Than Words - The Hanen Program for Parents® is a family-focused program that gives parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and related social communication difficulties, practical tools to help their children communicate. The More Than Words program is geared towards non-verbal communicators. It emphasizes the child's everyday activities as the context for learning to communicate. The program consists of eight two-hour training lectures and three thirty minute video feedback sessions (VFB) spanning 8 consecutive weeks.
It Takes Two to Talk (IT4): It Takes Two to Talk - The Hanen Program for Parents® is a well-known model of family-focused early intervention for young children with expressive and/or receptive language delays. The goal of It Takes Two to Talk is to enable parents to become their child's primary language facilitator, thereby maximizing the child's opportunities for communication development in everyday situations. It Takes Two To Talk is designed for toddlers and preschool-age children with specific language impairment, as well as for children with cognitive and developmental delays under the age of five. The program consists of eight two-hour training lectures and three thirty minute video feedback (VFB) sessions spanning 8 consecutive weeks.
