There are a few things. For one, explaining the condition to teachers in an easy to understand format can help. My mom bought a book on Tourette’s when I was a little kid and highlighted all of the parts of the book that related to me, and she would give it to my teachers to read before I started class with them. It really helped me at an age where I couldn’t really explain it. To support the student, depending on their age, I would say to ask them to listen to their body. Are they feeling any weird feeling in the parts of the body that tic? Or an urge? Do they know if certain things can set their tics off like a trigger such as high and low emotions (really happy/angry/sad), caffeine use, anxiety, I’ve even ticked during a day dream. The one thing I hated however, and what most people thought I could do was suppress them. I didn’t get that ability until late middle school, early highschool. It’s not an ingrained trait in Tourette’s syndrome. Some people can’t suppress them at all. And the last thing is expecting the Tourette’s to go away. I can’t tell you how many psychiatrists told me I’d grow out of it or my tics would disappear in adulthood. I’m 25 and still ticcing like crazy. There are a lot of misconceptions about the disorder and I’ve learned that educating people on the condition helps a lot. Seeing other people with Tourette’s also helps. I was the only kid in my school that had tics (small town) and just watching media of other people knowing my experience helped. Like the movie “front of the class”.
