Many SLPs express the need for support in effective parent coaching. For over 45 years, The Hanen Centre has specialized in professional development for SLPs that gives them the tools to partner with parents and provide effective parent coaching. 

We’ve trained over 150,000 speech-language professionals in over 100 countries, and our evidence-based interventions are globally recognized as the gold standard in parent-focused early language intervention. We also specialize in early childhood educator training, providing SLPs and other consultants with evidence-based coaching frameworks to support educators' use of responsive-interaction strategies in the classroom. 

By partnering with us, you enhance your members' access to the highest quality professional development for facilitating their work with families and educators.   

Hanen interventions are:

• Based on principles of adult learning – Hanen interventions engage parents and help them learn in ways that have been proven to be effective for adults.
• Child-led and strengths-based – Parents learn how to understand their child better and use their child’s individual strengths and interests as a basis for helping them learn. 
• Supported by parent-friendly materials – SLPs have access to slide decks, handouts, user-friendly reading material and real-life video examples to facilitate parents’ learning.
• Tailored to all the ways SLPs work with parents – SLPs can apply Hanen coaching frameworks flexibly within their service delivery, including in-person and online, and by offering 1-1 coaching and Hanen group programs.
• Supportive of legislative requirements for family-centered interventions – This includes Part C of IDEA which focuses on building parents’ capacity to support their child’s development.
