Funded through Ontario’s Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS), our goal is to support professionals working within the Preschool Speech and Language Initiative (PSL) across Ontario.  
   
Speech-Language Pathologists and other professionals working within the Ontario Preschool Speech and Language Initiative may be eligible for the services of Hanen in Ontario Provincial Preschool Speech and Language Initiative. These services, which focus primarily on supporting professionals' work with parents and other caregivers of young children with communication delays/disorders, include access to:  

  • Subsidized Hanen workshops
