Tourette’s, ADHD and Executive Function.

 

Dr. Kutscher will focus on executive functions (such as organization, foresight, inhibition and brakeless behaviors) as key difficulties in children with Tourette’s and co-occurring ADHD. Many people also have other parts of a syndrome mix of learning disabilities, Asperger’s syndrome, anxieties, and depression. The lecture empathically summarizes the four non-medical rules of treatment: (1) keep it positive; (2) keep it calm; (3) keep it organized; and (4) keep doing (1) to (3).
