On TS and Associated Disorders

Tourette Syndrome: An In-service for Educators

This course is designed to teach educators about Tourette Syndrome and its associated disorders such as ADHD and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Anxiety, depression, auditory processing and other learning disabilities will also be addressed. School related issues will be emphasized. The criteria for diagnosis/clinical assessment of Tourette Syndrome will be explained, along with current medical interventions. The course will enable educators to recognize students' difficulties as well as their strengths and potential. The course offers approaches and strategies that enable teachers to create a learning environment that supports the social/emotional and intellectual development of all students in the classroom. Accommodations regarding instruction and testing will be discussed, as well as classification, the 504 plan and the IEP. Helpful interventions and modifications for behavior management will be addressed. Insights shared regarding the nature of TS outside the classroom help educators gain an understanding of the whole child and develop a partnership with parents. Participants will have the opportunity, throughout the course, to share specific concerns; and to brainstorm instructional strategies using the course material and the handouts provided.
