Special Information

Additional Details

Early Bird Fee: $995 until August 21, 2026!

This workshop is organized in partnership with Sante Quebec Montérégie-East (Quebec, Canada) for their approved staff but a few spots are available to the public.

We are offering this longer version of the typical 3-day workshop to accommodate multilingual clinicians whose first language is not English. Although the content is delivered in English, the pacing of the workshop will allow for easier absorption of the information and increased time for questions and discussion.

Eligibility

Speech-Language Pathologist/Therapist

Format & Agenda

Platform: Zoom
Language: English

Part 1 - Pre-workshop assignment

This mandatory assignment prepares you for full participation in the workshop. You’ll learn about the foundation of the Hanen approach, familiarize yourself with key principles of adult education, reflect on how the research informs assessment and goal-setting, and start thinking about how the content may apply to a particular child on your caseload.

Part 2 - Live, online interactive training

In a small online group, you'll participate in a series of highly interactive and personalized learning sessions, led by a Hanen instructor. Each session includes discussion and small group practice activities, as well as the opportunity to reflect and receive feedback from your peers and the instructor.
