Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that
becomes evident in early childhood or adolescence. It is part of
the spectrum of Tic Disorders and is characterized by motor and
vocal tics.
There is no cure for
Tourette Syndrome
Tourette Syndrome affects people of all races,
ethnicities and socioeconomic levels.
Kids with Tourette and Tics report high incidence of being bullied.
Thousands of
people face the
challenges of
Tourette Syndrome
throughout
adulthood.
Kids with Tourette face
significant hurdles in
the classroom due to
related learning
disabilities and
misunderstanding by
teachers and peers. Tourette.org
