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: 13 weekly sessions running from Wednesday 30 April – Wednesday 23 July
• Time: 10am – 1pm
• Funding: Improved Daily Living Skills (15) or fee for service

Delivered by a Hanen® certified speech pathologist, Hanen: More Than Words will help you to take everyday activities like meal time, story time and bath time and use them to help your child improve their communication and social skills.
