with TA Education Manager, Lucy Toghill
If you have a child with TS in your school or moving up to your school for the start of the new school year, then this webinar will teach you basic Tourette Syndrome awareness, highlight some of the possible barriers to learning and recommend strategies that could easily be implemented to best support the child in school.
We will also be addressing the issue of the growing number of cases of sudden onset of tics since the COVID-19 pandemic, and how this can impact a childs education, plus strategies for managing this in the classroom.
