Slide 10 - How we identify/diagnose the problem Diagnosis is made through observations and interviews with the patient and caregiver(s), examination of family history, and ruling out other secondary causes of tics. Wikipedia. Tourette syndrome. Retrieved October 31, 2007, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourette_syndrome.
Slide 11 - Factors Complicating Diagnosis People with Tourette’s often present with an extreme range of symptoms – often misdiagnosed or under-diagnosed People with Tourette’s may also be diagnosed with or have symptoms of : ADD/ADHD (approx. 50%) Anxiety Depression Learning Disabilities (approx. 25-30%) OCD (approx. 25-40%) *Examples of co-morbid diagnosis Bagheri, M.M., Kerbeshian, J., & Burd, L. (1999). Recognition and management of tourette’s syndrome and tic disorders. American Family Physician. Retrieved September 13, 2007, from http://www.aafp.org/afp/990415ap/2263.html.
Slide 12 - Biological factors Research has shown a genetic predisposition in relation to Tourette’s Specific gene is not known presently Not everyone that inherits the genetic vulnerability will show symptoms Inherited neurological disorder Neurotransmitter, dopamine, found in excess Bagheri, M.M., Kerbeshian, J., & Burd, L. (1999). Recognition and management of tourette’s syndrome and tic disorders. American Family Physician. Retrieved September 13, 2007, from http://www.aafp.org/afp/990415ap/2263.html.
Slide 13 - Family factors Parenting style will impact the frequency in which the tic occurs. Family support tremendously important!! Families must also be their child’s advocate.
Slide 14 - School factors Are there school factors that may cause the tic to intensify? YES! Anxiety, Stress, and Fatigue
Slide 15 - School Factors How should a teacher properly discipline the behavior? DON’T DO IT! Disciplining the behavior is NOT going to reduce the frequency of the tic!
Slide 16 - School Factors Teasing and bullying occur…tic behavior increases…teasing and bullying increases – Vicious cycle! BREAK THE CYCLE!
Slide 17 - How the problem affects school life Depends on the specific child and his/her specific strengths and weaknesses Most children with Tourette’s will need some type of academic accommodation or necessary support. Accommodation for visual-motor integration problems– Assign a buddy as a “note taker” or “homework partner,” allow extra time for test taking, allow use of a calculator for rote calculations, etc. Accommodation for language problems – provide visual input as well as auditory whenever possible, repeat directions and then have student repeat them again, when reading give the child a card with a cut out “window” so that they are only viewing one word at a time, etc.
Slide 18 - How the problem affects school life Accommodation for attention problems – seat the child in front of the teacher, seat the child away from windows and doors, short assignments with frequent checks, etc. Knoblauch, B. (1998). Teaching children with tourette syndrome. ERIC Digest. Retrieved September 13, 2007, from http://www.ericdigests.org/1999-4/tourette.htm.
Slide 19 - Legal safeguards in Pennsylvania Students with Tourette Syndrome would be covered under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. ■The school district must provide “necessary supports” for the child to participate in the educational programs at the school ■Equal access to all extracurricular school programs and activities *Students with more severe tic behaviors may need further supports through the use of an Individualized Education Plan. Education Law Center. A comparison of the rights of a child with a disability who needs “special education” and a child who is a “protected handicapped student.”
Slide 20 - What YOU can do to help Remember: People with Tourette’s are not all alike! Learn more about how Tourette’s impacts your student. Talk to the student’s family about positive ways to handle school stress and what works for the particular student.
Slide 21 - What YOU can do to help TOLERANCE! Ignore the tics Allow the student to have a permanent pass to leave the classroom as needed so that he/she may “get the tics out” if/when they become too overwhelming Provide a private place where the student can go to relax and/or release tics Allow things to be completed through a different medium ---presentations that are videotaped at home if oral recitation is problematic for the student
Slide 22 - What YOU can do to help Provide the student with extra time on certain activities and/or the option to take a test in a different location Provide a peer education program (with permission from student and family) to reduce any bullying of teasing. If this continues, provide additional adult supervision during the less structured times of the day Alternatives/reasonable accommodations MODEL ACCEPTANCE
Slide 23 - What to avoid Losing your patience Punishing the child for his/her tic Punishment will not make the tic go away. You are ultimately punishing the child for something that he/she cannot control. Knoblauch, B. (1998). Teaching children with tourette syndrome. ERIC Digest. Retrieved September 13, 2007, from http://www.ericdigests.org/1999-4/tourette.htm. Tourette Syndrome “PLUS” (2005). Tips on dealing with tics in the classroom. Retrieved September 13, 2007, from http://www.schoolbehavior.com/Files/tips_tourette.pdf.
Slide 24 - Prognosis Approximately 30% of people with Tourette’s will have a decrease in the frequency and/or severity of the tic. Approximately 30 to 40% will completely lose all symptoms during late adolescence. Majority of those diagnosed with Tourette’s retain full time employment and pursue higher education Health A to Z (2006). Tourette syndrome. Retrieved September 13, 2007, from http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/common/standard/transform.jsp?requestURI=/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/tourette_syndrome.jsp. Wikipedia. Tourette syndrome. Retrieved October 31, 2007, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourette_syndrome.
Slide 25 - Info for parents REMEMBER: You are NOT alone! Learn about Tourette’s and openly explain the diagnosis to others involved in the child’s life. Remember that the behaviors are not intentional – Punishing the behavior will not make the behavior go away!
Slide 26 - Where you can get more help http://www.mimh.nih.gov - tells you about federally funded research projects and findings on Tourette’s http://www.tsa-usa.org – Tourette Syndrome Association, Inc. offers many resources (publications, videos, training sessions, etc. that are aimed at helping students, parents, families, and especially educators understand Tourette’s as well as tips to properly handle the symptoms – EXCELLENT resource http://www.tourettesyndrome.net – Tourette Syndrome “PLUS”
Slide 27 - Additional Resources I Have Tourette’s, but Tourette’s Doesn’t Have Me a documentary that appeared on HBO that focused on children with Tourette’s as they go about their daily lives Gives a personal account of what their life is like Video clip may be seen at http://www.tsa-usa.org/news/HBO_Release_apr06_update.htm - may also purchase entire DVD through this site EXCELLENT resource!!!!
Slide 28 - Scenario Imagine that you are in a room with 20-30 of your peers and you are all silently reading a passage that you are about to be quizzed on. All of a sudden, you begin to feel a slight tickle in your throat and you feel that you need to cough. A few seconds pass and it goes away and you are able to stay on task to finish the assigned reading. Before you know it, that tickle is back and even worse this time around. You NEED to cough, to let it out, in the worst way. Your body naturally and involuntarily responds to the tickle in your throat by coughing. “NO!” you tell yourself. You are supposed to be paying attention to the reading. Everyone else is going to be done and ready to move on and you will still be reading. Then everyone is going to tease you for being a slow reader. BUT YOU NEED TO COUGH!! The more you think about and tell yourself to pay attention and finish reading, the worse and more severe the tickle gets in the back of your throat. You begin to fidget in your seat and tap your pencil off of your desk. “Don’t do it, don’t cough,” you tell yourself. The more you tell yourself this the worse the tickle is getting. It is getting worse….and worse…and worse!!
Slide 29 - Scenario Did you cough? Imagine that you did cough and everyone around you starts to laugh. The teacher sends you to the principal’s office for coughing in class AGAIN. How do you feel now?
Slide 30 - Case study ■ I want you to imagine that you are Samantha. How would you react/feel given this scenario? ■If you were the teacher, what could you have done differently? What could you do to change the vicious cycle of bullying? ■From what you know, was the school compliant with Section 504 regulations? If not, what should be done?
