Description of the workshop: 

The More Than Words workshop certifies you to lead More Than Words -- The Hanen Program® for Parents of Children on the Autism Spectrum, a family-centered, social–pragmatic intervention program for parents of young children with ASD. Its goal is to build capacity in parents so they can play a primary role in facilitating their child’s social, communication, and vocabulary development.

In leading the More Than Words Program, the Hanen Certified SLP helps parents:

  • Identify their child’s social communication skills and stage of communication
  • Use the above information to set realistic and appropriate communication goals collaboratively with the SLP
  • Use everyday routines and play activities as contexts for building the child’s social and communication skills
  • Structure the child’s environment to increase his motivation and opportunities to communicate
  • Facilitate the development of social communication, including joint attention, within pleasurable, extended interactions
  • Facilitate the development of imitation
  • Use visual aids and print to build the child’s understanding
  • Fine-tune their language input to foster expressive and receptive language development
  • Facilitate their child’s play skills
  • Help their child make friends
