Tourette Association of America

Founded in 1972 in Bayside New York, the Tourette Association of America is the only national voluntary non-profit membership organization in this field.

We offer resources and referrals to help people and their families cope with the problems that occur with TS. We raise public awareness and counter media stereotypes about TS. Our membership includes individuals, families, relatives, and medical and allied professionals working in the field.

Program development, education and medical programs, government outreach, adherence to the Tourette Association of America's mission, maximizing efforts, minimizing expenses, Team Tourette events, awareness month, publications, chapter relations, research grants, scientific and medical conferences, are ongoing efforts of the Tourette Association's full time professional staff.

Volunteers of extraordinary dedication and professional merit serve on the Tourette Association of America's Board of Directors, Medical Advisory Board(MAB), and Scientific Advisory Board (SAB).
