More Than Words™, The Hanen Program™ for Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

A family-focused program that gives parents of children as old as 5 years practical tools to use in everyday activities. Parents learn to help their children with Autism Spectrum Disorder or social communication difficulties connect and communicate with the world.


As a parent, you know how challenging it can be for your child with Autism Spectrum Disorder to interact meaningfully with others and connect with the world around him.

Attending More Than Words™, parents will learn strategies to achieve the following four goals:

The program is run by Hanen Certified speech-language pathologist Brigid Shamburg. Through activities and group discussions, parents learn to create and take advantage of everyday opportunities, emphasizing the importance of affect, predictability, structure, and the use of visual supports to help their child communicate and use language. The program is supported by the new edition of the popular parent guidebook, More Than Words, as well as videos developed specifically for the program.
