If you’re an I’m Ready!™ certified Hanen member, and you’re looking for more virtual options to support families, an I’m Ready! Online Program license can help.
This license gives you the option to offer the I’m Ready! Program entirely online while maintaining all the best practice principles of the in-person program.
What's Included
The I’m Ready! Online License includes:
- An introduction guide with guidance for leading a group online
- A separate Leaders Guide specifically for the online program
- Session slides optimized for online delivery
- Digital, fillable forms for you and the participants
- Access to a pre-recorded orientation session and pre-program questionnaire
What’s Different in the Online Program
To accommodate online delivery, the virtual program includes the following elements:
- The addition of three individual video feedback sessions – Instead of providing feedback to the parent in the live practice as in the in-person program, the Program Leader captures a video online in real time and engages the parent in a feedback discussion immediately after the recording.
- Longer group sessions – More time is allotted for traditional practice (e.g. through role play) during the sessions because the live practice component has been removed.
- Required pre-program video recording – This is required in the online program to demonstrate how the parents are reading to their children before the program and how their children are participating in the reading.
- Pre-program questionnaire – Along with the Reading Checklist that’s also included in the in-person program, parents will fill out a questionnaire before the start of the program to provide important information about their child.
- Orientation session – The Program Leader offers an orientation session specific to the online program in one of two ways:
- Use the provided slides and Session Outline to offer an online live session to individual parents or a group of parents.
- Have parents watch a recorded video accessed through a provided link.
