HBO Special: "I Have Tourette's but Tourette's Doesn't
Have Me." - Our office has been asked to disseminate
information concerning an upcoming broadcast by HBO. The
Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services recognizes
the importance of proper identification of students with
disabilities, case management, and training for professionals.
In keeping with the Commissioner's goal to increase the
supply of highly effective teachers, we would like you to
supply this information to staff that may currently be working
with or possibly be assigned to students with Tourette Syndrome.
The HBO broadcast will air on Saturday, November

telling their stories about living with Tourette Syndrome.
The purpose of the program is to dispel common myths about
