The Hanen Program® - More Than Words® is available to parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder who are
under the age of 5. The More Than Words® program aims to empower families to help their child with ASD to engage in
back and forth interactions, develop more mature and conventional ways of communicating, improve social
communication and improved their child’s understanding of language.
The program will help you to manage your child’s behaviours and develop their communication skills by turning
everyday activities into positive learning. The 11 week program will consist of 1 x 1.5 hour pre-program consultation,
7 x 2.5 hour group sessions and 3 x 1-2 hour individual videotaping and feedback sessions. Attendance to all sessions is
essential to ensure that all of the program’s strategies are learnt and can be applied to interactions with their child.
