rolands.lakis School children with TS as a group have the same IQ range as the population at large, but many have special educational needs such as reading and writing difficulties, arithmetic disorders and perceptual problems. TS, especially combined with Attention Deficits, often calls for special educational assistance.
The use of tape recorders, typewriters, or computers for reading and writing problems, untimed exams in a private room, and permission to leave the classroom when tics become overwhelming are often helpful. Some children need extra help such as access to tutoring outside the classroom or assistants in the classroom.
