The Hanen Centre® Programs

These programs have been clinically proven to improve children’s communication skills by teaching their parents tools to use during everyday interactions like eating snack, reading, or playing.
Each program is 12-weeks long and includes 3 individual visits where the provider helps parents tailor the program’s tools to their individual needs. Mrs. Amy now provides these programs online through interactive video conference calls so parents can attend from around New Mexico, California, and Maryland.

Evaluations
The best way to know whether a child can benefit from speech and/or language treatment is to complete an evaluation. The tests we use for evaluations include books and toys that are fun for children to complete. We try to make every evaluation as enjoyable as possible for children by including breaks to play, stickers, and/or a small toy as a prize for completing tests.
