The Cheshire East Autism Team (CEAT) is a small school focussed team of teaching and support staff. They provide specialist support for children on the autism spectrum attending mainstream schools..

A diagnosis is not required for the team to become involved with a pupil. However, as it is a school-based service, requests for involvement are only received via the school. Once a request for involvement is received and accepted, a member of the team will be allocated and they will: .

• discuss the difficulties being encountered and make recommendations of actions to follow,
• discuss and model interventions as required with the child, family and school,
• provide a report or record of visit outlining involvement and recommendations,
• provide follow up visits and contacts as required.

Training opportunities including: .

• autism specific awareness training (2 day course),
• management of ASC behaviours training (1 day course),
• bespoke training as appropriate.
