This group is a safe, supportive space for children, adolescents, and adults with Tourette Syndrome as well as parents to connect, share experiences, and support one another. We will continue with the same format, with children and adolescents with TS, siblings, and children in one room and with adults in the other room. We do have room for expansion, if we need to break out into two groups. We will continue to provide a pizza dinner.

Meeting Dates for Next School Year: Mark your calendars! All meetings will be from 7-8:30pm.

About Tourette’s Syndrome

Tourette’s syndrome is a neurobehavioral (brain-based) movement disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics. Beginning in childhood, it causes those affected to make movements and noises they cannot control. Additionally, many with T.S. also have associated disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder and/or learning problems. Although medication may help control the symptoms, as of yet there is no cure. Tourette Association of America – Texas Chapter, one of the largest Tourette Association of America Chapters in the country, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We raise funds to directly assist Texas area families and children in crisis, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Tourette Texas Mission Statement

Our programs and services include professional counseling; a unique Medical Assistance Program; an annual children’s Camp du Ballon Rouge weekend; educational programs and In-Service presentations; scholarships and direct client services; Support Groups; Youth Ambassador Program; and family events and activities, all of which are free of charge to our families.
