Coping with Tourette Syndrome and Tic Disorders [Library Binding]

Barbara Moe (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

This informative book discusses Tourette syndrome, tic disorders, and related problems affecting activities, moods, learning, behavior, and sleep. Moe combines solid information, brief case studies, and sound advice as she explores the many facets of these related disorders, the ways in which they affect young people's lives, resources available to those looking for medical or legal help, and strategies for coping in daily life. Her straightforward approach and matter-of-fact, supportive tone make the information readily accessible to young readers, even those who come to the topic with some degree of discomfort. Although primarily speaking to young people with Tourette syndrome and tic disorders, the book also addresses their families and friends. A helpful guide to a subject rarely discussed in books for young people, though it certainly touches many lives. Carolyn Phelan

4.0 out of 5 stars Coping With Tourette Syndrome..., July 20, 2003

This review is from: Coping with Tourette Syndrome and Tic Disorders (Library Binding)

Barbara Moe has done a great job writing a book that is very informative for parents of children with Tourette Syndrome, yet light and entertaining enough to hold the attention of a teen or preteen that is seeking help and/or advice on how to deal with this disorder. Many books that I have read on the subject simply gave the facts about TS but offered little help. This book was refreshingly different and really gave me an insight to what my twelve-year-old son deals with every day.

This review is from: Coping With Tourette Syndrome and Tic Disorders (Coping) (Hardcover)

My daughter was recently diagnosed with Tourettes Syndrome and I have been searching the internet and libraries for information. This book is actually written for teenagers and is very clear and straight forward. This book is organized in a concise way and many of my questions were answered. I was able to find this book on the Amazon marketplace easily. I recommend this book highly.
