Pupils from Duncanrig Secondary School and the associated Communication Support Base (CSB) which caters for pupils with autism spectrum disorders, have been taking the radio airwaves by storm with their very own radio project. The pupils have been performing their own radio shows on community radio. The project was set up to support inclusion in a realistic and fun setting way, as well as enhancing communication skills. Pupils showcased their work at the recent Scottish Learning Festival and also took the opportunity to interview Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, Michael Russell, on the day.
