| Description |
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a physical disorder of the brain that causes involuntary muscle tics and vocal noises; obsessive-compulsive and attention deficit disorders are frequently present as well. Because symptoms of TS generally appear before the age of seven, this guide is a particularly important addition to the literature on this long-misunderstood and misdiagnosed illness. The medical, educational, social, and legal issues associated with TS are addressed through clear and comprehensive essays written by specialists and parents. The book also provides parents with useful coping strategies while focusing on ways to encourage children to reach their highest potential. Each chapter concludes with candid statements by parents that convey the pain and triumphs associated with this disorder. Recommended for public libraries and academic libraries supporting healthcare curricula. |
