How to Order

The central role of parents

We recognize parents as the most important language teachers for young children, whether the children are developing as

expected or have a language delay.

Founded in 1975, The Hanen Centre is a Canadian not-for-profit charitable organization with a global reach. Its mission is to

provide parents, caregivers, early childhood educators and speech-language pathologists with the knowledge and training they

need to help young children develop the best possible language, social and literacy skills. This includes children who have or are

at risk for language delays, those with developmental challenges such as autism, and those who are developing typically.

The importance of starting early

The earlier children get the support and intervention they need, the better their language development will be.

The power of the “everyday”

Children learn to communicate not by being “taught”, but by participating in conversations with their parents during everyday

activities like mealtime, going for a walk or getting dressed. When parents know how to encourage and support their child’s

participation in these conversations, their child’s language grows.
