Duncanrig Secondary Communication Support Base (CSB) was established in 2006 to support pupils with autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) to access the academic and social life of a mainstream secondary. The CSB supports pupils from all over South Lanarkshire. Although pupils in the CSB experience challenges related to their autism, they are capable of accessing a number of mainstream subjects. The CSB provides a supportive, structured learning environment which allows access to a broad and progressive curriculum. The emphasis at all times remains addressing the particular educational and social implications of each child's autism. Although the CSB is an integral part of Duncanrig Secondary School, pupils have to have a special referral to attend the base. This is made through the child’s current Educational Psychologist. Even if your child lives in the Duncanrig Secondary catchment area, or attends one of its partner primaries, a referral is still required.
