Tourette Syndrome Association has great resources that benefit individuals with autism. Did you know that their are a number of people dually diagnosed with autism and tourettes? I found a lot of their materials relevant and informative. Passing it on.
"Back to School: Making Successful Transitions"
August 18, 2009 Teleconference Recording
Now Available on TSA Website!
On August 18th, TSA conducted an teleconference on easing back-to-school transitions for students with Tourette Syndrome. The audio was recorded and posted on the TSA website and is now available for listening.
This 53 minute audio presentation supplies significant information to families and caregivers with transition needs as they pertain to students attending a new school, new grade or a teacher new to them.

The original teleconference was presented by TSA Education Specialist Kathy Giordano to an audience of concerned parents and caregivers. Kathy is an Education Specialist with the national Tourette Syndrome Association (TSA). She presents nationally for TSA on issues concerning Tourette Syndrome and related disorders, positive and proactive educational & behavioral techniques, and Functional Behavioral Assessments to audiences of teachers, special educators, clinicians, school based staff, allied professionals and families.
