In this program, participants will learn about the relationship between Tourette’s Disorder and ADHD, and gain understanding of the commonly associated challenges in learning, academic planning, and organization. Facilitators will present strategies to guide students in improving assignment tracking, managing associated materials (including internet based/online materials due to virtual learning), effectively managing time and scheduling, and engage in systematic planning for assignments. Practical strategies for students to manage stress, anxiety, and mood related to Tourette’s Disorder and associated organizational skills difficulties will also be reviewed.
Additionally, participants will get free access to a library of short videos (4-5 minutes) illustrating organizational skills taught in the webinar (e.g., time management, scheduling/planning, etc.) in addition to stress management and relaxation skills. Program content and guidance is based on reviews of recent research and brings together the extensive expertise of faculty members of the Tics, Tourette’s Disorder, and Trichotillomania program, and the Organizational Skills Training Program within the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health.
