Thank you to all who attended our virtual seminar, “Empowering school personnel to recognize and accommodate Tourette syndrome and tics,” on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, 5:00-6:00p.m.
This page hosts the following information for school counselors in our region:
- The VISIT-TS video, the first 5 minutes of which shows characteristics of tics and related information for a general audience
- A Q&A resource: a blog page on which you can ask tic-related questions in a format so that answers can be useful for others with similar questions
- A lesson plan that school counselors can use in classrooms, complete with links to information for school professionals from the TAA
- A recording of the virtual seminar for school counselors described above: https://fb.watch/rG7qdKWT_u/
