Learning Problems and the TS Child [and] Specific Classroom Strategies and Techniques for Students with Tourette Syndrome [and] Techniques To Aid Students with TS in Completing Written Assignments.
Davidovicz, Herman; And Others
Three fact sheets provide parents and educators with basic information on Tourette Syndrome (TS). The first sheet is titled "Learning Problems and the TS Child" and is by Herman Davidovicz, a neuropsychologist. It notes the high frequency of attention deficit disorders and learning problems in children with TS and provides information for parents on warning signs, reasons for the learning problems, suggestions for intervention, and consideration of remedial help and regular classroom adjustments. The second fact sheet is by an educator, Susan Conners, and is titled "Specific Classroom Strategies and Techniques for Students with Tourette Syndrome." Strategies are suggested for the following areas: tic symptoms; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder problems; visual motor integration, auditory processing difficulties, and fine motor skill problems; and "short fuse" and oppositional behavior difficulties. The third sheet is by Jacqueline Favish, a special educator, and is titled "Techniques To Aid Students with TS in Completing Written Assignments." It offers suggestions for helping students with note taking, standardized tests, teacher-devised tests, and timed tests. (DB)
