Tourette Syndrome is a complex disorder, especially when a child is also diagnosed with one or more additional neurological or behavioral conditions. Educators and Administrators need to fully understand the child with TS so that they can adequately support and accommodate the child without reinforcing unwanted tics or punishing a child for manifestations of their disability.
The PA Tourette Syndrome Alliance can help schools navigate this fine line through the following services:
- Technical Phone Support--1-800-990-3300 for questions regarding TS, associated disorders, or for assistance with helpful accommodations.
- Educator In-Service Programs (Act 48 credits available) --includes 1 year access to members only area of website!
- Consultant Services for schools--includes access to Educator Tools and Information
- Bullying is another area where PA-TSA can help. See our Peer In-Service Program for more details!
