Although he has a good level of understanding, Aahan doesn\u2019t use speech to communicate. He has accessed one-on-one speech pathology services with Northcott for around 12 months using NDIS funding.<\/p>\n<p>Sapana was keen to participate in More Than Words, a training program for parents of children with autism, as a way to gain new skills for Aahan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought it might help me to use new strategies with Aahan and improve how I communicate with him in daily life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The experience, she says, was nothing but positive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore, I felt like I was walking on the road without direction. Now I know the direction towards our goals. The course helped me to have more patience and know how to deal with my kids in so many ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>What is More Than Words<\/h4>\n<p>More Than Words is an evidence-based speech pathology program developed by The Hanen Centre. It is delivered by Northcott speech pathologists who have received specialised training and certification from The Hanen Centre.<\/p>\n<p>The training focuses on developing the skills of parents of children with autism or social communication difficulties, teaching them communication and interaction strategies that can be used in the home and everyday routines and activities with their child.<\/p>\n<p>The program includes small group sessions and individual consultations. Via video recordings, participants are also observed interacting with their child.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;44&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;7&#8243; top_padding_tablet=&#8221;44&#8243; bottom_padding_tablet=&#8221;7&#8243; top_padding_phone=&#8221;25&#8243; bottom_padding_phone=&#8221;7&#8243; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_position=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; pointer_events=&#8221;all&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<div id=\"attachment_6587\" style=\"width: 1170px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6587\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6587\" src=\"https:\/\/ourimpact.northcott.com.au\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Harper-Moroney-EC-AR-2022-1-1-2.png\" alt=\"Aahan\" width=\"1160\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourimpact.northcott.com.au\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Harper-Moroney-EC-AR-2022-1-1-2.png 1160w, https:\/\/ourimpact.northcott.com.au\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Harper-Moroney-EC-AR-2022-1-1-2-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/ourimpact.northcott.com.au\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Harper-Moroney-EC-AR-2022-1-1-2-1024x603.png 1024w, https:\/\/ourimpact.northcott.com.au\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Harper-Moroney-EC-AR-2022-1-1-2-768x452.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6587\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aahan<\/p><\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;10&#8243; top_padding_tablet=&#8221;5&#8243; top_padding_phone=&#8221;5&#8243; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_position=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; class=&#8221;content_inner&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; pointer_events=&#8221;all&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h4>Positive outcomes for all<\/h4>\n<p>Sapana has noticed some big changes in Aahan, as a result of using strategies she learnt during the program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most important thing I learnt was waiting and how to be patient. Because of that, I think Aahan is now able to go to the toilet. I waited and I didn\u2019t force him. This is a very big thing. We are really proud of him,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are also interacting more with him. Nowadays Aahan doesn\u2019t stay alone in his room; he comes to be with us and tries to play with his younger brother. When our relatives come to the home, he likes to be involved with them and play with them. He is more social now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sapana also says she benefitted from hearing from the other parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI liked being with the other parents. We learnt so many things from each other through the online classes. I found it very effective.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Thank you to the Profield Foundation<\/h4>\n<p>Northcott was able to offer the More Than Words program to Sapana and other parents at no cost, thanks to funding from the Profield Foundation. This meant parents didn\u2019t have to pay out-of-pocket for the training \u2013 or use a portion of their child\u2019s NDIS therapy funding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFamilies with limited NDIS funding could participate without it impacting on access to other therapies, such as one-on-one occupational therapy or speech pathology sessions or other speech pathology goals such as communication device trials,\u201d explains Sarah Ruming, a Hanen accredited Northcott Speech Pathologist and one of the facilitators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe find families are more willing to try an intensive program like More Than Words if it doesn\u2019t impact their other therapy funding. For some, there is a perceived \u2018risk\u2019 in committing to a short program that takes a large portion of their funding, at the expense of other therapies, or that they are not sure will \u2018work\u2019 for them and their child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Families accessing Northcott Speech Pathology services were able to participate via a telepractice format, which allowed our Hanen-accredited therapists to reach more families.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Northcott is grateful to the Profield Foundation for their ongoing support.
