How do you know if it\u2019s a Tic Disorder, Tourette, or just another attempt to annoy everyone around him? Today we\u2019re going to discuss what teachers can do properly when they encounter Tourette in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Once a teacher realizes the child has symptoms that match a tic disorder or Tourette, there are basic accommodations that can be made in the classroom. Some of these can be best made with\u00a0<a title=\"Special Education \u2013 A Simple Overview\" href=\"http:\/\/brittanyfichterwrites.com\/special-education-what-is-it-really\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IEPs<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>(Individualized Education Plans) or in basic, quiet changes only known by the teacher and student. Here are a few good tips I\u2019ve found:<\/p>\n<p>From\u00a0<strong><a title=\"Northern Illinois Univeristy College of Education - Accomodations for students with Tourettes\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cedu.niu.edu\/~shumow\/itt\/Tourette's%20Syndrome.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Northern Illinois University College of Education<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>Have a duplicate set of text books for the child to keep at home.<\/em> <\/span>This can help students who might have missed details of the text because of the ticcing. Just think, if your head is constantly jerking or your eyes are constantly blinking, it can be quite distracting in the classroom. You might need to go over the material again later.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>Use a seating chart to allow for any movement tics.<\/em><\/span> This is especially helpful if the child has a tic like jumping or jerking, something where she\u00a0needs to move, and it will lessen the distraction to other students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From the\u00a0<a title=\"Newton PAC Family Resource Center\" href=\"http:\/\/pacfamilyresourcecenter.pbworks.com\/f\/TS%20classroom%20strategies%20and%20techniques.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Newtown PAC Family Resource Center<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>by Susan Conners, M.Ed., Education Specialist, TSA, Inc.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>Give the child frequent breaks out of the classroom to release tics in a less embarrassing environment, e.g. the bathroom, the drinking fountain, a real or made up errand to run.<\/em><\/span> It\u2019s important to have a safe place where the student can go to release his tics, somewhere where he won\u2019t feel embarrassed to let out the extra energy burning up inside of him.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>Do not penalize students for poor handwriting. Provide alternatives for doing tests, assignments, etc. (orally, taped).<\/em><\/span> It can be difficult to write well when your hand is constantly moving on its own accord. This is an accommodation that might be best discussed in an IEP meeting\u00a0(a meeting between the teacher, any school staff involved in this part of the student\u2019s education, such as school psychologist, counselor, principal, and resource teacher, and the parents).<!--more--><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From the\u00a0<strong><a title=\"Minnesota Association for Children's Mental Health\" href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=8&amp;cad=rja&amp;sqi=2&amp;ved=0CGMQFjAH&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tea.state.tx.us%2Ftourettes_disorder.pdf&amp;ei=c_kCU62oMYWCyQGO2oD4Dw&amp;usg=AFQjCNGCZt2CRv-LztgOV5mXb7dq1VAnyg&amp;sig2=UIGeAMSyEdM0esipIOAhYg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota Association for Children\u2019s Mental Health<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(PDF)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>Do not impose disciplinary action for tic behaviors.<\/em><\/span> The stress these impositions make on children with Tourette will do nothing but stress them out and exacerbate the tics, making them even worse.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>Educate other students about Tourette disorder, encourage the student to provide his own explanations, and encourage peers to ignore tics whenever possible.<\/em> <\/span>Note that this can only be done with the parents\u2019 and student\u2019s permission. It\u2019s illegal to tell a student\u2019s classmates about his disorder without the express permission of his parents, and it\u2019s highly recommended to have his permission as well. If the student can be his own advocate, he\u2019s already won half the battle. This takes time, however, and if he\u2019s not ready, this announcement can do great damage.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>Provide a private, quiet place for test taking. Remove time limits when possible.<\/em><\/span> I can tell you from personal experience that the stress of test taking can make tics worse, which can distract the student, as well as her classmates. If a student feels less stress during the test by having the time limit extended or removed, she\u2019s more likely to experience fewer tics in the process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Brittany Fichter\u2019s Personal Tip<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a title=\"Anxious Hands\" href=\"http:\/\/brittanyfichterwrites.com\/anxious-hands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keeping hands busy can help with lessening tics<\/a><\/strong>. For example, I use my iPad to keep my hands busy when I\u2019m sitting in church. When I\u2019m with the worship team at church, I sometimes bring my military challenge coins up with me to finger while I\u2019m singing. Basically, the extra energy that feels like it\u2019s surging through my body can be funneled into the movements I purposefully put into the objects I\u2019m holding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Just One More Thing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that Tourette is often misunderstood, commonly known as the \u201ccursing\u201d disorder. Coprolalia is a rare form of Tourette, however, and once again, if seen in the classroom, can\u2019t be blamed on the student. It\u2019s also a challenge best handled by an IEP team so the student has the fewest challenges possible in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Also, children with Tourettes often have comorbid disorders, such as\u00a0<strong><a title=\"Obsessive Compulsive Disorder\" href=\"http:\/\/brittanyfichterwrites.com\/obsessive-compulsive-disorder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OCD<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<strong><a title=\"ADHD\" href=\"http:\/\/brittanyfichterwrites.com\/adhd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ADHD<\/a><\/strong>, Anxiety Disorders, as well as learning disabilities. This doesn\u2019t mean, however, that children with Tourette can\u2019t be successful or intelligent. Famous names such as Jamie Grace, Tim Howard, and Brad Cohen prove this. A Tourette diagnosis death sentence, and it doesn\u2019t mean failure. It simply means those of us who support these kiddos need to get a little creative with how we help them learn and grow.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you have any suggestions, questions, or comments about Tourette in the classroom, please share them in the Comment Box below.
