Georges Gilles de la Tourette French neurologist who discovered Tourette Syndrome after writing a paper on nine people with abnormal tics

What is Tourette Syndrome? Inherited neurological disease Involuntary movements Uncontrollable vocalizations Approx. 100,000 Americans have full blown Tourettes 1 in 200 show symptoms of it

ure=related ure=related

Additional issues with T.S.

Diagnoses and Treatment Description of the tic and family history Must be present for a year Treatment can be delayed because the symptoms are easily confused with other diseases Most symptoms aren’t severe enough to need medication

Adapting your classroom for students with TS Remember even though their tics may be disruptive they can’t control them, don’t react with anger ! Visual motor integration problems Write down every other math problem Tape their report instead of writing it Allow them to write on the tests Language problems Give oral directions one or two steps at a time Have them repeat the directions back to you If they get stuck in a loop doing work give them something else to do

Attention problems Keep them away from windows or any movements Put them in a “quiet” work place Alternate short periods of work and breaks

Famous People with T.S. Dr. Samuel Johnson ( ) British poet, essayist, and lexicographer Wrote the “Dictionary of the English Language” Jim Eisenreich (1959- ) Retired major league baseball player 1997 world series champions – Florida Marlins

Tim Howard (1979- ) Goal keeper for Manchester United Played in the 2000 olympics

The best thing you can do is to love them and show them understanding, they can’t control what is going on with their bodies
