Once again, we honor the continued growth, impact, and mission of NJCTS.
Protect our Promise for a Brighter Future
NJCTS is facing urgent funding needs to keep critical programs running for children, their families, and adults living with Tourette Syndrome. Your gift today makes an immediate impact.
What is Tourette Syndrome?
Tourette Syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects children, adolescents and adults, and is characterized by sudden, involuntary movements and/or sounds called tics.
Youth Programs
We’re empowering youth with Tourette Syndrome and related disorders through education, peer support, and programs that build confidence, self-advocacy, and resilience.
Adult Programs
We provide adults with Tourette Syndrome access to meaningful programs, peer connections, and resources because the journey doesn’t end at 18.
Support for Parents & Caregivers
Providing expert guidance, educational programs, support groups, and trusted resources to help their children with Tourette Syndrome thrive at home, in school, and beyond.
Professionals
Equipping teachers, healthcare professionals, law enforcement, and community partners with evidence-based education, resources, and training to improve the understanding of Tourette Syndrome.

Grey Sky Films has produced a new series of videos to promote the impact NJCTS has had on families. Three families – the Straley’s, Ordonoez-Coronado’s, and Delaney’s – sat down with us to discuss their journey with Tourette Syndrome. From the family retreat to school presentations, NJCTS brings the community together and helps navigate social, educational, and medical challenges.
