SALT has reccomended this program for me to go on for DS who doesnt speak very well. I am not against going to "group" things, I went on 2 positive parenting courses when DS1 was a handfull but this Hanen Program lasts for 12 weeks and I would have to extend DS and DD pre school hours to be able to attend which would be quite expensive. Also they film you (me actually, the parents interacting with DS) which to be honest makes me feel like I am on trial.
I have made the decision not to go on this course because there will be a couple of weeks where I will be unable to go, but just wondered if anyone out there had been on this course or advised to go on this course by their SALT.

I was booked to do a hanen course last year, which involved expensive/difficult childcare arrangements but it was cancelled.

It is a free course, tbh I would be filmed naked hanging upside down if I was learning a skill that might help my DS' communication difficulties.

Sorry no sympathy here.

I wasnt after sympathy marmaduke, just wondered if it was worthwhile

Would suggest you also post this question on the Special Needs forum of this website as you'll get replies that way as well. I think also a SALT posts on there.
