Practical, dynamic, uplifting and informative

"The ideas are practical….it helps you identify the level your child is at and how to progress in the future as they progress. Speech development is then everyday and not just when you have an appointment."

SIMPLE, REALISTIC EASY TO FOLLOW PLANS

The programme is laid out in an easy to follow way.

You'll be given realistic, individual goals and exercises that can quickly be built into your everyday activities.

Such as mealtimes, bedtime, playtime, doing something new or going out in the car or on the bus.

This makes Hanen very simple to use in your everyday life.

"The amount of progress my child has made in such a short while, can only be down to the techniques I have learned….  I only wish we had started earlier.  I realise now that it was impossible for her to learn at the pace at which I was talking to her – I never gave her a chance…."

COMMUNITY SUPPORT

The More than Words® Parent GROUP Programme is run in small groups.

This creates a fantastic and supportive space to learn and connect with other parents in similar situations to you.

"You can really notice an improvement even after the first session.  It is wonderful that you can feel that you are able to make a difference all the time rather than from one hour in the clinic…"
