10 Things Teachers Can Do For Students with Tourette Syndrome It may surprise you to learn that you probably have taught a student with Tourette Syndrome (TS), and will likely again. Often teachers and school personnel, as well as physicians and families, miss the symptoms that are associated with TS. Studies estimate that 1 in 160 (0.6%) school-aged children in the United States have TS. Remember, a child with TS is a person first…who happens to have TS. As an education professional, it is important to remain curious regarding how to teach and be supportive of a student with this complex neurodevelopmental disorder. While every student is unique, the following are general suggestions that may help a student who has TS or tics, to attain academic and social success. 1.Recognize that tics are involuntary movements and sounds that wax and wane and can change unpredictably. In many cases, students with TS will attempt to suppress their tics to avoid negative attention from others. While the tics may appear to be within the students’ control and are being done purposefully, they are not. 2. Reduce Stress/Anxiety. Stress typically increases symptoms. Therefore, noting what factors increase stress and implementing appropriate accommodations

Token reward system is a powerful tool for behaviour management. Your student chooses a picture of his reinforcer from the choice board and places it on the Velcro space provided. Stars are given for correct responses by the teacher until the student earns all the stars to gain the reinforcer they’ve chosen. This positive reinforcement system is great for kids with Autism, Special ED, ADHD, Downs syndrome and is used by teachers, therapist and parents. They also provide structure in your behaviour support plans and run in conjunction with ABA management'. I've created 4 different levels of "working for" cards in both black and white and colour. These are GREAT for children with Autism, special needs and the visual learner and include:- 2 token reward cards 3 token reward cards 5 token reward cards 10 token reward cards in colour/B&W and different sizes plus a choice of 4 different tokens to choose from plus newly added 5 different types of dinosaur tokens. Reward visuals are include and comprise of:- Xbox (white), laptop, computer, iPad Xbox (black), game boy, ipod, DVD player tv, music, bubbles, fidget toy Doll, book, comic, action figures sweets, train, play dough, dinosaurs chocolate buttons, riding car, toy cars, basket ball bumble ball, ball, bounce on big ball football, koosh ball, big ball, gutter ball. Plus a great A4 reward choice board to display reward visuals. Laminate boards and tokens and attach with Velcro pieces.
