The Team is based at The Oaks in Ramsey, and provides a community-based outreach service primarily for people with a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome. The service is outcome focused, and so provides varying levels of support to people dependent on need. It also supports a social group every week with a range of activities which anyone can access. As well as providing an office base for the support team, The Oaks is a resource centre for parents and professionals, with meeting and training rooms and information resources. The Oaks also offers activities and workshops to individuals with ASC, which include, developing independent living skills, computer resources, a sensory room and a walking and conservation group. We also offer: 24 hour residential provision; supported living service; supported employment project; children and young person services; and the development of a centre for people with autism.
