Hanen Workshops

Two runs of the Hanen "More Than Words" Programme have been completed in the year 2006. The More than Words programme empowers parents by giving them the toold to facilitate their children's interaction and communication skills.

More Than Words derives its theoretical basis from social interactionist perspectives, emphasising the child's every day activities as the context for learning to communicate. In addition, More Than Words incorporates current best practice guidelines, emphasising the importance of affect, predictability, structure and use of visual supports to enhance learning in children with ASD.
