Tourettes Syndrome Awareness Symposium for people working in education

Tourettes Syndrome affects 1 in 100 school children in the UK with a growing number leaving education to be home schooled.

With a greater understanding on how to support a child with TS in the classroom, you will not only gain the tools to help improve the child’s learning experience but also attendance and academic results.

Susan Conners, M.Ed. is an internationally sought-after speaker, teacher, trainer and author of “The Tourette Syndrome/OCD Checklist: A Practical Reference for Educators and Parents” on the education of children with Tourette Syndrome (TS), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other related neurological disorders. She has presented workshops in 48 of the 50 US states, Canada, Puerto Rico, Spain, Norway, Northern Ireland, and is now coming to Hull.

As well as Susan there will be a talk on sensory integration and the sensory ladder. Other speakers to be confirmed.
