The name of the unit for children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is the Grange ASD Centre. Grange ASD Centre is part of Grange (MLD) Specialist School for Cognition and Learning. There are 3 bases in the Centre - Key Stage 2 (KS2), KS3 and KS4. They all operate using the Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication handicapped CHildren (TEACCH) approach. ASD students spend varying amounts of time in the Centre and are educated alongside moderate learning disabilities (MLD) peers when it is most applicable to their personal learning needs. Volunteers may be accepted to work with the pupils. We have close links with Autism Bedfordshire.
