Professional Development Courses
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.
