Lucy works part time at the Charity Tourettes Action and consults with schools and education professionals to optimise understanding of, and support for pupils with TS. She provides resources and training to education provisions in order to increase their knowledge and understanding and to help them learn how best to support a learner with TS. Lucy has a background of SEN in schools and has worked in mainstream schools as a primary school teacher for 15 years before joining Tourettes Action. She also has a son with TS.
Today we talk about Tourette’s Syndrome, what this means and how it may present. We also speak about how parents and carers can support a child with TS and where they can find information and advice as well as a thriving community that they will be welcomed in to.
