THE PRESENT STATE OF KNOWLEDGE OF TOURETTE IN SCHOOL SETTING: DIFFICULTIES, ATTITUDES AND INTERVENTIONS
This article aims to investigate the educational situation of students with Tourette’s syndrome (TS). This literature review was performed through PsychInfo, Virtuose and GoogleScholar (55 articles included). Studies show that TS can affect the school functioning, especially concentration, learning and tasks achievement. Teachers are not familiar with the syndrome, which seems to cause a negative attitude toward students with TS. Specific interventions seem to support these students academically and emotionally. This article aims to promote a better understanding of the syndrome and the educational achievement of students with TS.
