Communication Development in Preschool with Autism Spectrum Disorder

How Hanen Helps Parents of Autistic Children

The Hanen Centre supports parents of young autistic children to build their child's social communication skills during enjoyable everyday interactions. By using research-based interaction strategies during the everyday routines and activities that are meaningful to your child, you can support their communication, while also developing a better understanding of your child's perspective and helping them connect and have more fun with you.
