Coping
with Tourette Syndrome: a Workbook for Kids with Tic Disorders.
Sandra Buffolano, $21.95; Professional version (with CD-ROM) $32.50
This practical workbook helps kids with

will also learn how to best explain their tics to friends and curious
strangers using humor, games, or brief scripts they have prepared.
The activities in Coping with Tourette
Syndrome address managing TS and related disorders in specific
situations, such as at school, at the movies, when out to dinner,
on special occasions, when visiting friends for sleepovers or parties,
when taking tests, and in places of worship. After completing these
exercises, kids with TS will have all the tools they need to handle
their tics with confidence and grace in any situation. |

a child in the 1970s and into his teens, Brad Cohen was viewed by
many adults as purposefully misbehaving when, in fact, he had no
control over his twitches and noises, which only increased in number
and intensity the more stress he felt. Brad was ridiculed, mocked,
beaten up, and shunned. Even today he is ejected from movies and
restaurants. Has it stopped him? Not on your life. This story of
personal challenges and unwavering determination proves anyone can
make their dreams come true. His compelling story concludes with
23 motivational tips on living with a disability. No one can read
Brad's story and fail to see the power of a positive attitude."

next.”
