NJ Center for Tourette Syndrome and Associated Disorders Inc.

The Center offers programs statewide working with families, colleges and hospitals as well as web presented seminars, reaching participants from around the globe. In collaboration with the TSANJ, hospitals, and educational institutions, the Center will expand its offerings to assure that programs are reaching families and professionals who currently do not have access. Utilization of media technologies is critical to this expansion.

There is a lack of understanding and knowledge in the community about Tourette Syndrome, and many people with the disorder are stigmatized. As a result, a large portion of Tourette Syndrome incidents are denied.

The Center will continue its efforts to create awareness of this disorder through informational programs and will work with radio and television stations and the written media to bring awareness to schools, colleges, residential communities and professionals in the health, education, and psychological development fields.
