Tourette Syndrome Contacts
"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.
