For Parents: Learn about the educational impact of Tourette’s syndrome

For children with Tourette’s syndrome, “School” often equals “Stress.”  Sheryl Kadmon, Executive Director of the Tourette Syndrome Association of Texas, will discuss the educational implications of Tourette’s syndrome and how to prepare your children for maximum success and how to educate their teachers about TS and accompanying disorders.  Invite your family, physician, school principal, school nurses, teachers – great information for all.  This is also the perfect time to pick up TS brochures and packets to hand out at school.

For Adults with TS: Participate in a separate break-out session

Discuss your specific needs and situations with other adults with T.S.  Help plan for future topics, speakers or city-wide social events. 

For Children: Separate, adult-monitored area

Tourette’s syndrome, or TS, is a neurological disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics.  Symptoms begin in childhood and cause those affected to make movements and noises they cannot control.  While not life-threatening, TS is nonetheless often painful, disruptive and isolating.  Many children with TS also have associated conditions such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and/or learning disabilities.  While it is believed to be genetic, the exact cause of the symptoms is still unknown.  Studies indicate approximately 1 in every 100 school age boys and 1 in every 300-400 school age girls may be afflicted with Tourette’s.  Although T.S. symptoms may decrease with age, adults may have T.S. also.
