We are delighted to be joined by Lucy Toghill from Tourettes Action to deliver this brand new fascinating webinar on Tourettes Syndrome.

What you will learn:

• What Tourette Syndrome is
• Dispelling the myths about Tourettes
• What hidden barriers might someone with Tourettes have
• How Tourette's can impact on education
• What support you can get in education, home and community settings
• What are the best strategies to use in education and home?
• How to get school to support your child
• What co-occurring conditions might your child have alongside Tourettes

As always there will be time for questions throughout the presentation.

Slides, references and CPD certificates will be available to attendees along with a recording to watch the webinar again for up to 30 days afterwards.

How do our webinars work?

Once you have purchased a ticket, you will be emailed a link to register for the event on ZOOM. It’s really important you register as soon as possible, as we manually check everyone in for safeguarding and security reasons.

Once registered you will be sent a link to join us on the night, almost as if the 'room to the door' is opened for you and you're checked in.

Click on the link to the ZOOM room 15 mins before the live webinar is to start, and make sure you are logged into ZOOM beforehand.

If you encounter any issues please visit www.sunshine-support.org/troubleshooting

The video of the webinar will be available to watch for 30 days after the webinar takes place, so if you need to leave the webinar at any time or can't make it at that specific time you can watch again at your leisure. The link to the recording will be sent to you within 24 hours of the webinar taking place.
