Supporting parents, educators and speech-language pathologists in promoting the best possible language, social and literacy skills in young children.

Core values

- **Support for Children with Communication Needs**: Hanen Programs focus on helping children with language delays, disorders, and autism, which are significant societal issues. By empowering parents and educators with research-based strategies, they improve the communication and social skills of these children, enhancing their quality of life and integration into society[1][3][5].
- **Parent-Implemented Intervention**: The programs emphasize parent involvement, which not only improves parent-child interactions but also reduces parental stress and anxiety, and increases parental self-efficacy. This has a positive impact on family well-being and the broader community[1][3][5].
- **Early Childhood Education**: Hanen's work with early childhood educators promotes enriched language learning environments, which are crucial for future academic success and social development. This contributes to better educational outcomes and societal preparedness for children[1].
- **Community and Family Engagement**: The programs foster genuine partnerships with families and communities, promoting cultural security, diversity, and equity. This helps in building a more inclusive and supportive community[1][2].
