"As quoted on National TSA Web Site"
TSA is a national non-profit voluntary health organization with 54 chapters in the USA and over 30 contacts in other countries. Members include people with TS, their relatives and other interested, concerned supporters.

TSA was established in 1972 by a handful of N.Y. families whose loved ones had Tourette Syndrome. They came
together to help others seeking a proper treatment for a TS diagnosis. Although first described in 1885 by Georges
Gilles de la Tourette, these founding families believed that there were only 50 known cases in all of recorded medical history!

As a result of TSA's medical and public education, the gap between symptom onset and a diagnosis has narrowed to
the point where families are diagnosed more quickly than in the past when it could take 10 years or more.

The Association is governed by a nationally representative, democratically elected Board of Directors. Treatment
policies and medical information are overseen by our volunteer national Medical Advisory Board, and applications
to TSA's research grant award program are peer reviewed by the Scientific Advisory Board.

National TSA remains the primary source of accurate and up-to-date information about TS, its treatment, relevant
scientific research, and consumer services. TSA publishes a quarterly Newsletter (40,000 readers), maintains a crisis hotline, produces valuable literature for people with TS and their families, medical and allied professionals, educators,
and legislators.

Client Services

To better serve all people with TS, the Association maintains a crisis hotline, physician referral listings by state and
medical referrals in other countries. For specific help, contact the national office and ask for our Information and
Referral Specialist.

TSA also maintains a counseling program specifically for New York City Residents!

Publications and Videos

TSA publishes a wide variety of brochures and films relevant to the needs of families and people with TS, educators, counselors, insurers, lawyers, physicians and scientists. Media public service announcements -- print ads, TV and
radio spots are available for local placement. Also see our TSA Catalog of Publications and Order Form.
