Over the last 30 years, Elaine has contributed to the development of Hanen programs, co-authored many Hanen guidebooks, and collaborated with the University of Toronto to conduct research on the efficacy of Hanen programs and caregiver-child interactions. "The Hanen Centre has, once again, done a terrific job of making the information in this newest edition of It Takes Two to Talk accessible to families and professionals, who can rely on the fact that the intervention strategies are based on years of research that support their usefulness in promoting improved communication skills in children with language delays."-Cynthia Cress, PhD, CCC-SLP,Įlaine Weitzman, Executive Director of The Hanen Centre since 1992, is a speech-language pathologist and an adjunct professor in the University of Toronto's Department of Speech-Language Pathology. To bring the strategies to life, the It Takes Two to Talk companion DVD (available separately) provides clear examples of real parents applying the strategies with children at four developmental stages.
