The Children’s Autism Outreach Team (CAOT) is part of Children and Young People’s specialist service SEND & Inclusion support Somerset.

Children’s Autism Outreach Team (CAOT) work with parents and carers and their child or young person with a diagnosis of autism aged 0-14 years (to 15 birthday).

CAOT provide home visits to help parents and carers with advice and strategies within the home, help with new skills to support their child and/or help with access to other suitable resources.

They also provide activities for children and young people that would otherwise be inaccessible for many families without support and advice. These include clubs for families and activities during every school holiday.

For families / careers who have a young person on the autism pathway aged 0 -14 years (15^th birthday) they would be welcome to attend CAOT coffee mornings or CAOT activities to gain support from CAOT and other families / carers in the same situation.
