Product Description
When first published, this guide for parents of children and teens with Tourette syndrome (TS) was the only book to offer up-to-date information and advice for families. Now in an updated edition, Children with Tourette Syndrome offers even more. There’s new information on the latest research and medical developments in the field, and sections on education, legal rights, family life, daily care, and emotional issues are thoroughly revised. Written by leading experts in the field and experienced parents, this guide provides an excellent blend of professional expertise and empathetic advice. Families with newly diagnosed children find answers to their most pressing questions about this often perplexing neurological disorder, as well as coping strategies and emotional support. The second edition includes new information about the effects of Tourette syndrome at different stages of development from childhood into adulthood. There’s more on coexisting conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, Asperger syndrome, and learning disabilities. The book also provides an overview of the biochemistry of TS, what to expect from a medical workup, as well as a discussion of more than 30 different drugs used to treat TS and related conditions. There are strategies for coping with many of the challenging characteristics of TS such as impulsivity, obsessive thoughts, attention and sleep problems, and difficulties with sensory integration. A new chapter on Habit Reversal Training (HRT) explains how this behavior intervention can help some people control tics. Parents find the latest on special education rights, and expanded information on how to design an appropriate education plan for their child. For families raising a child with TS, this comprehensive handbook gives them hope and relieves their sense of isolation. It’s also essential reading for professionals and teachers who need to understand this complex disorder. |

Children with Tourette syndrome: A Parent's Guide by 2grls2dgs1hrs (Cleveland, OH)  5 Stars
October 19, 2009
Wish I had this book years ago when my daughter was first diagnosed! I recommend this book to every parent with a child with TS. There's so much more information in this book than any other book/web-site/pamphlet etc... all together in one book! I first found this book at the library and kept referring back to it that I just had to buy my own copy!
Includes excellent advice on how to work with your child's school.

Easy to understand, comprehensive, helpful! by Nina Sanford (Le Sueur, MN) 5 Stars
July 02, 2007
I initially checked out this book from the library to learn more about the disability we suspected our son has. Because I was so impressed with it, I bought the book. It is an excellent source of information on TS (Tourette Syndrome), along with other related conditions, both for parents of children who have been diagnosed with TS or parents who simply suspect their child may have TS. She educates parents on how to go about getting an accurate and comprehensive evaluation for their child, information on dealing with the challenges of TS, and being an advocate for the child with TS.

Children with Tourette Syndrome: A Parent's Guide by P. D. Nemcevic 5 Stars
April 12, 2007
This book is an excellent resource for parents whose child has Tourette's. It explains the disease, treatment, interventions, resources, and so forth. Excellent and easy to read. Great resource also for those with ADHD, especially since ADHD and Tourette Syndrome sometimes go hand in hand. I highly recommend it both as a grandparent of a child with both Tourette's and ADHD, and as a health professional!
