About the program
TalkAbility™ — The Hanen Program® for Parents of Autistic Children Who Are Speaking in Sentences and Having Conversations
The TalkAbility™ program is designed for parents of autistic children ages 4-8 who are speaking in sentences and having conversations. The program makes the most of your child’s unique strengths and preferences, as well as their natural day-to-day activities, to help them find more joy and connection in their interactions and to foster mutual understanding between your child and the important people in their life.
Topics of this program include:
– How your child currently engages in conversation
– Next steps to help your child have more balanced, back-and-forth conversations
– Encouraging your child to pay attention to non-verbal social messages
– Helping your child understand the meaning behind words
– Helping your child tell stories, play imaginatively and make friends
