This back-to-school season is like no other.
What was expected in March to be a temporary closure due to COVID-19 has spilled into August, leaving teachers, administrators, students and parents not knowing what is next. Tourette Syndrome and Tic Disorders affects one in 100 students. More than half of school-aged children with TS have a co-occurring condition, like ADHD, anxiety or depression. These conditions, along with other learning disabilities, can negatively influence learning, making it extremely difficult for students to concentrate in the classroom.
The Tourette Association of America's Education Advisory Board has listed the best practices that will help reduce anxiety and give some predictability and routine to the school year with help from students as well!
