Hanen workshops are highly interactive online trainings that offer evidence-based frameworks for engaging and coaching the important adults in young children’s lives. 

You’ll learn how to use the principles of adult education to ensure the best possible learning experience for parents and educators, increasing their confidence and ability to apply what they learn to their everyday interactions with children. By becoming an effective coach, you maximize your impact as you work with and through the parent or educator to extend early intervention and communication support into every part of the child’s day.

If you're wondering about how a Hanen certification can help you, or want to know more about how it has helped others, take a look at our Next Steps page.

If you work with children in an early childhood setting, our Teacher Talk™ training (based on the Learning Language and Loving It™ Program) will equip you with key interaction and language-building strategies for nurturing the best possible language, social and literacy skills for all children. If you train or consult to educators, the Learning Language and Loving It™ workshop gives you the option to lead Teacher Talk for educators.  

These short, on-demand online sessions are open to any professional who works with young children and their families. Each session is designed to enhance your knowledge of the latest research on the topic, and also provide you with practical tools and strategies that you can apply right away with families and educators. 

Drawing on content from their corresponding Hanen Programs, our user-friendly guidebooks are written specifically for parents and educators to help them build children’s language, social and literacy skills. Speech-language pathologists and early childhood professionals integrate these guidebooks into their everyday work to support parents’ and educators’ understanding of concepts and to help them apply powerful responsive interaction strategies during their everyday activities and interactions with children.  

As part of our mission to reach as many children as possible, we offer free, research-based articles and tips to help parents and educators build children’s communication and literacy throughout the day.
