Many instances and accompanying symptoms of Tourette Syndrome are complex and hard to recognize and manage. This is especially so when co-occurring conditions involving attention, impulsiveness and other issues are present.
Parents want to be the best they can be for their kids...but the job gets harder when children and families struggle with anger control and/or a mix of symptoms that can be hard to sort out.
A great many calls and emails to TSA reflect the questions that providers and families have about these two challenging topics.
In these brief, informative and valuable videos, Dr. John T. Walkup, Chair of the TSA Medical Advisory Board. offers clear discussion and shares proven strategies designed to assist clinicians in their treatment formulations, to help families better understand and strategize, and to promote overall improvement in the lives of children, adults and families affected by Tourette Syndrome.
The videos are presented free of charge on the TSA website. Physicians and treating clinicians such as psychologists, social workers and counselors will find both videos essential viewing. Families are encouraged not only to watch these programs, but to share their availability with providers. The programs are offered in the spirit of promoting collaboration between physicians/providers and those working hard to have a better quality of life with Tourette Syndrome.
Programs developed with the support of Grant/Cooperative Agreement 5U38 DD000343 from the Centers For Disease Control & Prevention (CDC.) The contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of CDC.
