You Make the Difference: In Helping Your Child Learn

You Make the Difference is designed for parents of all young children, especially those who are at-risk for developing a language delay. The principles of the Hanen "3a way" approach - allow, adapt, add -- are captured in this condensed, user-friendly book. The simple language, colorful illustrations and humorous cartoons help parents learn how to connect with their children in ways that foster the child's self-esteem and learning. The style of the book makes it especially useful for parents with low literacy skills and those who have other first languages.

Includes the following:

- colorful illustrations that reflect multiculturalism in America
- recipes for play dough and play clay
- game suggestions
- adding new words and experiences through music and books

The You Make the Difference program and guidebook were developed by The Hanen Centre, a not-for profit organization that specializes in helping children with or at risk for language delays. Their leading-edge programs and resources are developed for parents, eductators and other important people in children's lives.
