Inhoud

Are you looking for an effective autism service model that includes parent involvement?  

The More Than Words® workshop offers a clear and evidence-based framework for zeroing in on the specific communication needs of young children on the autism spectrum or who have social communication difficulties. You’ll learn a naturalistic, family-centered approach that empowers parents to support their child’s communication during everyday interactions. Whether you offer More Than Words® programs to parents or work one-to-one with children and their families, you’ll have the complete set of skills and resources to make early intervention the shared, ongoing effort that makes the biggest difference for children.

Workshop Highlights  

• Training by the world leader in parent-implemented intervention
• Interactive and personalized learning in a small group  
• Practice and discussion opportunities that maximize your learning
• Practical strategies for building children’s social communication skills naturally throughout the day
• Easy-to-use resources to put what you learn into practice right away

Learning objectives

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

• Describe the current research on prevalence, biology and diagnosis of children on the autism spectrum
• Describe current intervention approaches for children on the autism spectrum and how More Than Words integrates principles of best practice
• Select appropriate communication goals for individual children on the autism spectrum based on assessment of the child’s social and communication skills
• Apply principles of adult education to provide parents with the training, information and support they need to become their child’s primary communication facilitator
• Teach parents to apply communication facilitation strategies that are specifically adapted to the individual needs of their child flexibly and across contexts
• Assess recorded parent-child interactions and provide personalized coaching and feedback in order to facilitate parents’ application of program strategies within everyday interactions with their child
• Lead More Than Words – The Hanen Program® for Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

This workshop certifies you to:

1. Lead the evidence-based More Than Words Program for Parents of Children on the Autism Spectrum
   
   With your support, parents learn how to accommodate their child’s sensory preferences, provide the structure and predictability that help their child learn, and integrate the strategies that support their child’s social interaction and communication into everyday activities and routines.
    
2. Use More Than Words program materials in one-to-one contexts
   
   This workshop shows you how to apply the Hanen teaching method and resources to your everyday clinical practice to support every family on your caseload.
3. Obtain a license to offer More Than Words via telepractice
   
   Once you've completed the More Than Words workshop, you can obtain an additional license for a nominal fee and offer the program to families via telepractice. The telepractice version of More Than Words maintains the best practice elements of Hanen programs while increasing accessibility of the program to families.

Note on attendance: All Hanen Certification Workshops require participants to attend the full four days of the workshop, as indicated on the workshop registration page. Full attendance and participation is required in order to be awarded certification and a license to offer the More Than Words Program.

Praktisch

Deze vorming gaat online door via Zoom op 17, 18, 22 en 24 augustus 2023 van 13u00 tot 20u30. 

Een stabiele internetverbinding en een laptop of PC met webcam én microfoon zijn absoluut noodzakelijk per deelnemer om deel kunnen te nemen aan deze online workshop.

Deze cursus wordt gespreid over vier dagen in tegenstelling tot de MTW-workshop voor Engelstaligen die slechts 3 dagen duurt. Dit wordt gedaan omdat geen van de deelnemers aan deze cursus Engels spreekt als moedertaal en er op deze manier meer tijd kan voorzien worden om langer bij bepaalde onderwerpen stil te staan en ook om de kans te krijgen als deelnemer om de besproken materie voldoende te begrijpen en te verwerken. Enige basiskennis van het Engels is dus wel een vereiste en zal vooraf worden geverifieerd door het Hanen Centre.

LET OP: nadat je je ingeschreven hebt via deze pagina zal je van ons een unieke link ontvangen waarmee je je ten laatste op 1 augustus 2023 moet registreren op de webpagina van het Hanen-centre! Je deelname aan de workshop is enkel en alleen geldig indien zowel de inschrijving via Sig als de registratie en voorbereidende opdracht bij het Hanencentre tijdig afgerond zijn!

Meer informatie over Hanen vind je ook op de pagina van onze website getiteld Hanen-web of op de Canadese website www.hanen.org
