About this resource

About

Founded in 1977, The Hanen Centre is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to helping parents, caregivers, and early childhood educators build the best possible language, social, and literacy foundations for children from birth to age six. Its programmes are grounded in decades of peer-reviewed research and are internationally recognised as evidence-based.

What It Does

Hanen's core parent-training programmes include It Takes Two to Talk® (for children with language delays), More Than Words® (for autistic children and those with social communication challenges), TalkAbility™ (for verbally able autistic children), and Little Talkers (for late talkers aged 18–30 months). Programmes are delivered in small group sessions by Hanen-Certified speech-language pathologists, available in person or online. The website also offers a large library of free tip sheets and research-based articles on early communication development.

Who It Helps

Parents of children ages 0–6 with language delays, autism spectrum disorder, or social communication difficulties. Also valuable for early childhood educators seeking evidence-based communication strategies, and speech-language pathologists wanting a structured family coaching framework.
