It Takes Two to Talk®

The Hanen Program for Parents of Children with Language Delays

Free Zoom Information Session: September 16th at 7:00 PM

The It Takes Two to Talk Program is designed specifically for parents of young children (birth to 5 years of age) who have been identified as having a language delay. In a small, personalized group setting, parents learn practical strategies to help their children learn language naturally throughout their day together.

The It Takes Two to Talk Program teaches you, step-by-step, how to become your child’s most important language teacher. The program shows you how to:

  • Recognize your child’s stage and style of communication so that, together with the speech-language pathologist, you can identify next steps and goals

  • Identify what motivates your child to communicate

  • Adjust everyday routines to help your child take turns back and forth in interactions

  • Talk to your child in ways that help them understand language and then use it when they're ready

  • Use the strategies when you play and read books with your child to help them interact and learn language

Program Components


  • A pre-program consultation for you and your child with the Hanen speech-language pathologist

  • Eight interesting and interactive small group sessions, led by the Hanen speech-language pathologist. In these sessions, you learn about communication and language development, as well as how to use the program strategies.

  • An orientation session in which you'll learn about the program and what to expect

  • Three individual visits for you and your child with the speech-language pathologist that include a video recording of you and your child interacting together, followed by discussion with, and feedback from, the Hanen SLP.

What parents say about the It Takes Two to Talk® Program…

The It Takes Two to Talk Program has empowered hundreds of parents around the world to play a key role in helping their child develop language skills. One parent told us:

“I have just completed It Takes Two to Talk. What a difference this has made to the quality of life for my little girl. She is more confident and will initiate a conversation and join in activities. Several weeks ago she would not have done so.”

- Patricia, mother of four-year-old Kelly
