Hanen More Than Words Course

Posted By februaryed22

"Hanen More Than Words Course"

About: Borders Community Services / Speech & Language Therapy

(as a parent/guardian),

I think the course is fantastic, really helped and changed my thought process. Sad that it was cut short due to changes but gained a lot of knowledge in helping my child. Would love to see this course introduced in to schools and nurseries as I think it would help continue/support what the parents are doing at home with what they have learnt on the course. Overall fantastic experience.

Thank you for taking the time to post this Care Opinion, it is much appreciated.

I am very glad to hear that you benefitted from the Hanen Program, and can only apologise that it was cut short due to staffing changes. You will, however, still receive your 3 month follow up, where goals will be set for your child.

I note your comment about Hanen being provided within schools and nurseries, and this is certainly something we would like to take forward
