It Takes Two to Talk – Hanen Program
Language delay is the most common developmental disorder in young children.

Approximately 5-8% of preschool children experience a delay in their language development that continues into adulthood.

As such, training parents and guardians to be more responsive to their children’s communicative attempts and helping them fine-tune their language input so that it facilitates expressive and receptive language development, represents a critical component of any intervention offered for young children with language delay.

As a family-centred intervention, It Takes Two to Talk empowers caregivers to act as primary language facilitators, as well as promoting their competence and confidence to assume this role.

It Takes Two to Talk reflects the following aspects of family-centred practice:
Recognises the family as the constant in child’s life
Promotes family-professional collaboration/partnership versus clinician-directed intervention
Provides resources and supports in ways that strengthen families’ capabilities
Respects families’ diversity, strengths and individuality
Encourages family-to-family support
