Excellent Information to Educate Educators about TS etc

[Chemar]

I have often posted about Leslie Packer's excellent Tourette Syndrome Plus website at http://www.tourettesyndrome.net

 

She has added to her EDUCATION section and has some really helpful articles there, including obtaining the educational accomodations frequently needed at school.

 

I am posting this here as I know that this is often one of the biggest challenges that people face, as they try to get the correct assistance and acceptance in the school environment. There is a discussion on this issue that has been running in a couple of threads on the BrainTalk TS Forum, where a really caring mom is struggling to get even the simplest accomodations for her son because of an ignorant and unco-operative school.

 

I hope that this link will help anyone dealing with this issue

 

here is the direct link to the Education section on the Tourette Syndrome Plus website

Chemar,

I was just praying this morning asking for some direction in this area and saw this post!!! Thank you so much - you were an answer to prayer - and a quick one at that. I've already checked it out and printed some info for my daughter to read. As a 12 year old she sometimes listens to what others say over me. To be expected.

 

We've been doing supplements for 10 months and she had an RBC minerals blood test taken yesterday. Anxious to see what the results will be. Her youth group leader told me this morning that he has seen positive changes in her in the last 6 months. She's less anxious and jumpy and he hardly notices her tics. It could be he's used to her/them but it was nice feedback. Now if we can get a handle on school we'll be doing ok. Thanks again for posting the link!!

After posting on the BrainTalk forum this morning I just had a "feeling" that i should put the info here......I am so thankful that I was prompted to help in your prayer being answered!
