This guide is intended to help individuals and families understand and navigate coprophenomena, a lesser-known aspect of Tourette Syndrome (TS). Coprophenomena includes coprolalia (involuntary socially inappropriate vocal tics) and copropraxia (involuntary socially inappropriate motor tics), which affect an estimated 10–20% of people with TS.
In this guide you will find information on social and emotional impact, school and college accommodations (504 plans, IEPs, disability offices), workplace supports, ADA protections, and specific coping strategies and tools.
