TSA for Young People

This section of the Tourette Syndrome Association's web site is dedicated to young people with Tourette Syndrome.
You will find publications and other information particularly for children with Tourette Syndrome. We also have
material that might help educate friends or classmates of children with Tourette Syndrome.

If you're a child with TS and would like to receive our Kids Newsletter, That Darn Tic, by mail (or, even help us by writing
articles or drawing pictures), please email your name, date of birth, and mailing address to tracy.flynn@tsa-usa.org

The Youth Ambassador Leadership Training Program seeks at least one youth/parent (or adult guardian) team from each

Regency Crystal City Hotel in Arlington, VA. For more information on the Youth Ambassador Leadership Training
