Hanen's It takes two to talk group programme is based around parent training to improve speech and language capacity and outcomes for young children (normally birth to 5 years). It is a progamme that has been running for decades, all over the world, and hads a large body of evidence showing that it works!
The Hanen "It Takes Two to Talk" program is a parent-focused early language intervention designed to help parents support their young children with language delays. Through practical strategies and hands-on activities, parents learn to encourage their child's communication skills during everyday interactions, fostering improved speech and language development.
We are looking to start running Hanen Groups from August 2024 on roughly 3-monthly cycles either via face-to-face delivery or telehealth depending on client preferences. Each group involves both group sessions (online or in a community site) and individual sessions with families in their homes, consists of a pre-programme consultation, 8x2.5 hour sessions, and 3 individuals visit's with vide recordings and feedback. Costs of the programme are split between parents with a maximum of 8 families, and can utilise NDIS funding (And is a really economical use of funds).
If we don't have anough interest to start a group, we can still provide an individualised application of the Hanen principles for you and your child, just get in touch to find out more!
