The More Than Words program was designed to assist parents with children aged 5 and under who are on the autism spectrum and who experience social communication difficulties. The More Than Words program is aimed at arming parents with the tools and strategies needed to assist their children in connecting with others and achieving the following goals:
• improved social communication and interactions;
• improved play skills; and
• improved imitation skills.
PARENTS WITH CHILD AGED 3 – 7
Talkability
The TalkAbility program was designed for parents of verbal children between the ages of 3 – 7 who are on the autism spectrum and have social communication difficulties. The program has been developed to teach parents practical strategies to help their children learn people skills, that is, the ability to “tune in” to and understand others’ thoughts and feelings by picking up on non-verbal cues and by considering things from the others’ perspectives. These skills are crucial to your child being able to engage in successful conversations and develop meaningful relationships.
