Part 1 - Self-Study

This mandatory self-directed module prepares you for full participation in the workshop. You’ll learn about the Hanen approach to involving parents, as well as the importance of social interaction and the stages of communication. You will also observe a child on your caseload interacting with their parent, and record your observations on the form provided. 

Midway through the workshop, participants complete a second self-directed module which introduces them to the research behind what works best in coaching parents.

Part 2 - Live, online interactive training
