Join Debbie Orlando, OTR/L and Wendy Wegman, Sr Director of Programs at the Tourette Association of America on May 7, 2024 at 7pm ET for a webinar focused on the young child from 3-8 years old with Tourette Syndrome or a persistent tic disorder.
It can be a complex task to care for these children at home, preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary school. Strategies and accommodations will be discussed and explored for young children with Tourette Syndrome. We will explore why early intervention is key in helping young children overcome challenges in early development. You are encouraged to come with questions as the session will end with a live Q&A.
