Individual video-feedback sessions are best completed with your child present, if possible, so that the speech pathologist can observe an interaction and discuss Hanen strategies with you in-the-moment.

We are happy to accept NDIA, self-managed and plan-managed participants to join the Hanen More Than Words course.
