Tourette Syndrome was once thought of as a rare condition that caused sufferers to shout out obscene and derogatory terms; however, that can't be farther from the truth.
Tourette is an increasingly common disorder that affects over 200,000 Americans. Although the symptoms first appear in childhood, the associated tics often last a lifetime. To make matters worse, Tourette has multiple comorbid conditions that can leave children at a major disadvantage in traditional classrooms.

What are the primary symptoms of Tourette Syndrome, both clinically and experimentally? Why is Interactive Metronome® so powerful an intervention for people with Tourette? What can you do to help a client with Tourette excel at IM training? In this course, you will develop a better understanding of this unique clinical population, best practices for IM training, and anticipated outcomes.
"Because the cognitive load of IM training is high, and can be kept high by adding simple mental tasks, the efficient movement patterns developed during Interactive Metronome® are less prone to regression from stress.
IM offers an opportunity for persons with Tourette to develop a repertoire of more efficient movement patterns that they can expect to carry with them into everyday life."
