The speech Language therapist that supports the students in my class works
collaboratively with me once a week to develop my students' communication
and engagement skills through play-based learning
using “More than words- The Hanen Programs”.
“More than words- The Hanen Programs” Empowers parents and educators to help children reach the following three goals:collaboratively with me once a week to develop my students' communication
and engagement skills through play-based learning

So the speech therapist and myself assessed the students to know their communication and play interaction level.
According to “The Hanen Program” The level of the reasons for the child to communicates are categorized into 4 stages
1-Own agenda (Show what he wants or doesn’t want)
2-Requester (Intentionally ask for things he wants or doesn’t want)
3-Early Communicator (Connect with others by sharing Interests
4-Partner (Have a short conversation about many things)
After assessing the students we were able to group my target students to their level of social communication and play interaction suggested by “The Hanen Program”

One student is at “OWN AGENDA and REQUESTER”
Two students are at “REQUESTER”and EARLY COMMUNICATOR”
One student is at “EARLY COMMUNICATOR and PARTNER”
It will be very interesting to see what change we can make in their ability
