An Educator's Guide to Tourette Syndrome.
Bronheim, Suzanne
Intended for educators, the booklet presents information on Tourette's Syndrome (TS), an inherited neurological disorder characterized by involuntary multiple motor and vocal tics. The first section describes Tourette Syndrome--its causes, symptons, and treatments. In the second section, suggestions are provided to help teachers and school personnel adapt to the specific needs TS children may have including dealing with tics, dealing with writing problems, dealing with language problems, and dealing with attention problems. The final section suggests answers to eight questions that teachers frequently ask when dealing with children with TS and their families. Questions cover finding time to implement accommodations, identifying the child with TS, the prognosis for a child with TS, effects of medication, and sources of more information. Ten additional resources are listed. (DB)
