Early Language

Speech Sprouts is certified to deliver the Hanen Program It Takes Two to Talk (ITTT) developed by the Hanen Centre. ITTT is a small-group training program for parents of children with language delays (often referred to as ‘late talkers’).

ITTT helps parents learn about:

  • their own communication style – awareness of the positive and negative impacts on language development,
  • their child’s communication style – to help deliver language learning opportunities at the appropriate level, and
  • language stimulation strategies – to help emphasise language learning in everyday routines.

You can read more about the program by clicking on the following link. ITTT can also be adapted to be used in individual sessions.
