I received this email this morning from TSA National office, letting us know the Conference videos are online. I am so excited to watch these again. I was able to attend the conference this year, and learned so much from the classes, some of which these videos were made from. There is a lot of great information to be gathered from them. I would definately encourage anyone to take a bit of time on your breaks, or at night when the kids are asleep, (my favorite time of the day) to take a look at these videos. It is a great opportunity to learn more and help our families.

National Conference Videos Now Online!
Three informative video sessions, developed to help children, teens, young adults and families, filmed at the April 2010 Tourette Syndrome Association (TSA) National Conference, are now available for viewing at on the TSA Website here.
BULLYING PREVENTION features a presentation by Julie Hertzog, Bullying Prevention Project Director at PACER, and Sandra Hollis, Chair TSA Education Committee. This video will bring you up to date on the proactive ideas that kids, parents, teachers and schools are using to protect and value everyone in the school. The approaches discussed will be of interest to families and educators across the country.
Cathy Budman M.D. and Michael Himle Ph. D. offer a joint program covering two important areas: Dr. Budman presents on IMPULSE CONTROL & DYSREGULATED AFFECT SYMPTOMS IN TOURETTE SYNDROME. This authoritative session reviews a range of factors reflected in behavioral issues and impulsivity. In TREATMENT OF IMPULSIVE AGGRESSION IN TS: A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH Dr. Himle presents families with background on and discussion of effective techniques you can use for addressing these often-difficult behaviors.
In ORGANIZATION & EXECUTIVE FUNCTION, Sarah Crowther, Director of Student Success, Culver-Stockton College, presents to the Conference's teen and young adult track, all of whom nod their heads in recognition and agreement...as she discusses these challenges and helps the group learn to deal with them.
TSA's April 2010 National Conference offered an array of incredible presentations, innumerable chances for attendees to hear from leading authorities, and to meet and exchange experiences with dozens of families from across the country and around the world! TSA is happy to share these selected videos from that unforgettable gathering. We hope that families, individuals, teens, young adults, educators, and providers will find valuable information in these programs.
