The Tourette Association of America is a national nonprofit organization focused on improving the quality of life for people affected by Tourette Syndrome and related Tic Disorders through awareness, research and support. It works to educate the public and medical professionals, advocate for policies that foster positive school, work and social environments, and provide a supportive community for individuals and families navigating TS and Tic Disorders. Based in Bayside, New York, the organization coordinates a nationwide network and engages in public education, professional training and community programs to raise understanding of TS and expand access to care. The association serves a broad range of stakeholders, including children, adults, families and educators, with efforts aimed at reducing misinterpretations and improving treatment options, services, and social inclusion. A recent developing initiative includes programs for youth ambassadors and junior youth leadership to broaden outreach and involvement across communities.
