COTHÚ neuro-affirming parenting course is designed specifically for parents of autistic children, whether your child is newly diagnosed or you are awaiting a diagnosis.

Next Course Dates: Tuesday 24th February – Tuesday 24th March, 2025 6.30pm – 8.30pm GMT (Online, 5 consecutive weeks, 2 hours per week)

This neuro-affirming parenting course recognizes that many parents may be autistic themselves and values all neurotypes. Each week includes practical guidance, reflective exercises, and interactive discussions, creating a safe and inclusive space to share experiences, build confidence, and connect with other parents.

By participating, you will:

• Understand your child’s unique neurodivergent strengths and needs

• Receive practical guidance for daily routines and challenges

• Gain tools to support your own wellbeing

• Connect with a community of supportive parents

The course is delivered entirely online, so you can join from home. Whether you are awaiting a diagnosis or navigating a newly diagnosed child, this course offers emotional reassurance, practical guidance, and peer support.
