Tourette Syndrome: Implications for the School-Going Child
Keywords:
Tourette Syndrome, disorder, teaching implicationsAbstract
The educational and social implications for children with Tourette Syndrome
are quite complex. Diagnosis is not always straightforward and symptoms
can be confused with other disorders. Knowledge about the condition and an
understanding of its implications will help teachers provide the necessary
support for pupils with Tourette Syndrome.
