Hanen: More Than Words®
Be your child’s partner in communication. Join us at our Rockingham hub, starting April 30.
Is Hanen: More Than Words® right for you?
- Does your child have a confirmed Autism diagnosis or is on the waitlist for one?
- Are they not talking yet, or only using a few words?
- Do they struggle with playing or interacting with others?
Open up new possibilities for your child by better understanding where they are on their communication journey and becoming their biggest supporter. Children grow and learn at different rates, and as a parent, you can tell when something doesn’t feel right. We’re here to help you guide your child to reach their full potential.
