They volunteer their time and are available for speaking engagements in their local communities.

Lindsay Glass


Lehigh County
Lindsay Glass is 23 years old and a recent college graduate. She was diagnosed with Tourettes at age 11 and has overcome many struggles. Unfortunately, when she was younger she didn't have local resources or even know about PA-TSA. She encourages those who are recently diagnosed to get involved with PA-TSA support groups and activities like the TS Camp program. She is now starting to realize that she would be a completely different person without Tourettes and feels TS has made her a better person who is able to care a great deal about others. This is why she majored in Rehabilitative Services in college and she is so happy to have landed her first position.
