Tourette Syndrome is a neurobehavioral movement disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics. Beginning in childhood, it causes those affected to make movements and noises they cannot control. Additionally, many are plagued by obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder, oppositional behavior and other disorders. Although medication may help control the symptoms, as of yet there is no cure. The Tourette Syndrome Association of Texas, one of the largest chapters in the country, is a 501 ( c )3 non-profit organization. We raise funds to directly assist Texas families and children in crisis, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. SERVICES Educational:
