One in 50 Children Have Tourette Syndrome or A Persistent Tic Disorder
This content is sponsored by the Tourette Association of America.
Did you know that 1 in 50 school-aged children live with Tourette Syndrome (TS) or another Persistent Tic Disorder? 83% of school-aged children with TS or another Persistent Tic Disorder have a co-occurring condition like ADHD, anxiety, OCD, or depression. Children with TS and Tic Disorders are often subjected to bullying and discrimination at school. As an educator, we know you want to support your students in the best way possible – including students who experience tics and other co-occurring conditions. We have compiled a comprehensive list of resources to assist educators and school personnel in developing effective support plans to allow children with TS and other Tic Disorders to thrive, both socially and academically.
Supporting Special Education Research: NASET’s Research Facilitation Service
At NASET, we’ve always been committed to advancing the field of special education through evidence-based practices and meaningful research. Over the years, we’ve received countless requests from PhD candidates, university researchers, and academic institutions seeking to connect with our vibrant community of special education professionals, teachers, therapists, advocates, and parents. These research opportunities have contributed valuable insights to our field, from understanding the effectiveness of intervention strategies to exploring family experiences navigating special education services.
Recognizing the significant value our community provides to researchers—and the administrative effort required to properly vet, format, and distribute these opportunities—we’re introducing a research facilitation service. For a modest fee of $250, NASET will review your research proposal, ensure it meets our community standards, and share it with our engaged audience of 4K active members, 40K+ newsletter subscribers, and 57K+ Facebook group members. This service helps ensure that only high-quality, IRB-approved research reaches our community while allowing us to dedicate proper time and attention to presenting these opportunities in a professional manner.
This approach benefits everyone involved: researchers gain access to our hard-to-reach, specialized audience of special education stakeholders; our community members receive well-vetted research opportunities that can contribute to advancing the field; and NASET can continue providing valuable services while maintaining the quality standards our community expects. If you’re a researcher interested in connecting with our special education community, we encourage you to submit your request through our streamlined process, where we’ll work with you to present your research opportunity in the most effective way possible.
