Tourette's information for schools

4 replies

I have posted this on the Special Needs forummas well, and it was suggested that someone here might have ideas!

Does anyone know anywhere on the internet that I can download an information sheet and educational strategies about Tourette's Syndrome, for my son's school? Suitable for primary school level (I have found one such sheet, but really it is more aimed at secondary level teachers). i ask because i really don't think they get it - or are not passing the information on to their auxilary type staff. My son had to stand next to the lunchtime supervisor all through the lunch playtime yesterday, because he had been humming during the mealtime. Well yes, of course he had. He has Tourette's and humming is one of his "things" - he finds it really hard to supress. He shouldn't be being punished for it. So I want to provide them with some information. Any ideas, anyone?

Oakmaiden, is this any good?

(Did you know that Man Utd's new keeper Tim Howard has Tourette's?)

There is a leaflet here that you can download, from the For Kids link, aimed at primary age children, called "Matthew and the tics" - it mentions humming. As it is written for children the language is very simple but it would do for the dinner ladies etc?
