“COTHÚ has given me the tools and the inspiration to support parents to have the confidence to parent and advocate for their children. I can honestly say that it has been one of the most rewarding experiences being able to reach out and offer a safe space for parents to voice a concern or explore and expand on their understanding of their young person’s experience.”
Darina Stoilova
Adolescent Psychotherapist
Welcome to COTHÚ – our online program for professionals who wish to become licensed parenting course providers.
COTHÚ (pronounced ka-hoo), Irish for nurture, is a unique neurodiversity-affirming alternative to EarlyBird and Cygnet, designed and delivered by our award-winning trainers who are Autistic themselves.
Cothú offers parents a different view of their child, a very human view. It is full of practical tools, exercises and opportunities for growth and relationship building. We will give you everything you need to deliver this empowering course in person to parents of Autistic children and teens.
IACP CPD recognised and awarded 13.5 CPD points.
