ABOUT THE TOURETTE CBIT FOUNDATION AND OUR MISSION

 I am a mother personally affected by Tourette Syndrome (TS). I have seen first-hand the challenges of having TS. I know what Tourette Syndrome is, and more importantly what it isn't.  Tourette Syndrome is not a joke. It is not a punchline. There are individuals who struggle daily with new and old tics. They struggle with tics causing physical pain. Having TS is more complex than what we see in the media. Quite often, individuals with TS struggle with mental hardships in addition to their tics. Tourette Syndrome is complicated. At The Tourette CBIT Foundation we have a goal to ease some of those hardships. 

CBIT offers that opportunity but the cost of CBIT can be a hindrance. How frustrating to know there is a therapy out there that can provide relief, but it can't happen due to financial hardships. No child should not be able to access something that could change their life for the better because of money. I ask that you please explore our website. Learn about CBIT and Tourette Syndrome. One more person educated, is one less person putting my daughter on the spot, asking her why she is moving the way she is or making the noises she is. For me, and many other parents out there with a child with TS, that is a win.   

Thank you,
