Cindy Earle
Program Manager, Target Word
Resource Coordinator for Hanen Training - Ontario's Preschool Speech and Language Program
Cindy Earle graduated with her Bachelor of Science at the University of South Dakota and a Master of Arts Degree at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Cindy took her initial Hanen training (a five day workshop) in 1979!) in Kingston, Ontario when The Hanen Centre was on the move from Montreal, Quebec to Toronto,.
This training not only changed the way she felt about working with families of young children, it also improved her own interactions with children during therapy.
She had the good fortunate to do her final clinical practicum at Chedoke Child and Family Centre in Hamilton (now part of Hamilton Health Sciences) and was then hired on as a clinician in the Out patient Department.
After offering her first It Takes Two to Talk program, she knew she wanted to be more involved with The Hanen Centre and in 1988, she became an It Takes Two to Talk Instructor, leading workshops for SLPs around the world.
She became an Instructor for Learning Language and Loving It in 1992 and led a pilot project in Hamilton that resulted in ongoing community funding for Learning Language and Loving It programs.
That project continues today.
The launch of the Ontario Preschool Speech and Language Program in Ontario in 1998 (a revamped, more coordinated and family-focused initiative) made available an opportunity that she couldn't resist - overseeing a province-wide Hanen project.
Her position as Resource Coordinator for Hanen Training within this Ontario Program involves supporting speech language pathologists in their Hanen-related clinical work with families of young children with communication delays.
Interactions with SLPs across Ontario identified the need for a program for parents of children who were late talkers.
Cindy teamed up with Lauren Lowry (an SLP who works for The Hanen Centre) to create Target Word - The Hanen Program for Parents of Children who are Late Talkers.

Cindy is also the Program Manager for the Target Word Program.
