Hanen: More Than Words®

This program includes both individual and group sessions. Your therapist will schedule the individual sessions with you, which will take place at your home with your child. The group sessions are designed specifically for parents and carers, so we kindly ask that your child does not attend, allowing you to fully engage in the sessions.

Full program details as below:

• For: Parents or carers of children aged 3-6 years
• Location: Rocky Bay Rockingham
• Dates: 11 weekly sessions running from Wednesday 30 April – Wednesday 23 July
