More than 5000 children across West Dunbartonshire have been recognised as having additional support needs (ASN) according to a new report submitted to the council.
The latest figures show that out of the 13,800 school pupils and 1485 nursery pupils, 5273 have ASN and are supported mostly in mainstream schools.
A further 242 pupils are supported in a specialist setting as they require a more specific learning environment.
