Recently, NJCTS Youth Advocate Jacob Gerbman presented to the fifth graders at Deal School in Deal, NJ. The students learned about Tourette Syndrome, acceptance, and treating others with respect. After Jacob’s presentation, the students welcomed their classmate, Nolan, to the front of the room to answer some questions about his experience with TS. Together, Jacob and Nolan helped to create an open and supportive atmosphere for all students in attendance. School counselor Christine Priest said, “Jacob was amazing. He was such as good role model not only to Nolan but the other students as well.” Nolan said afterwards he “felt like a star!”
