Abstract:

Communication Sciences<br>Ph.D.<br>Children with Tourette Syndrome (CWTS) frequently exhibit a high prevalence of disfluent speech behaviors which are often labeled stuttering. The present study analyzed the fluency characteristics of CWTS, in comparison to children who stutter (CWS) and typically developing peers (TDP). It was predicted that CWTS would be less fluent than TDP but more fluent than CWS. A related purpose was to explore whether differences existed in the pattern of disfluencies demonstrated by these groups. To this end, it was predicted that CWTS would demonstrate significantly

Abstract:

The quality of life of children with Tourette Syndrome, a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by chronic tics, is impacted greatly by both the symptoms themselves and their social consequences. Habit Reversal Therapy, a behavioural therapy for tic management, has substantial empirical support in its individual form, but this approach has never been investigated in a group format. Group based delivery of Habit Reversal Therapy could increase access to therapy, improve the cost-effectiveness of treatments and potentially offer additional therapeutic benefits.

Abstract:

Tourette's syndrome (TS) is a chronic movement disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics. This report looks at TS through the eyes of three families and two adults diagnosed with the syndrome. The social and psychological reactions and adjustment to the disorder are examined. Three approaches were used to explore the issues: a literature review; field notes and unstructured biographical interviews. Social and psychological reactions include: depression, withdrawal and suicidal ideation. Unresponsiveness on the part of the health care and social service systems contributed to feelings of a

This study examines the relationship between the family environment and the manifestation of Tourette’s Syndrome in children (aged between 7 and 16 years). It was conducted in two Phases. Phase 1 addresses two research questions; (1) What is the relationship between family environment and a child’s experience of Tourette’s Syndrome? And (2) How does the family adapt and accommodate to having a child with Tourette’s Syndrome? These questions were addressed using both quantitative and qualitative methods.

Abstract:

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disability characterised by a cognitive profile of executive function deficits, particularly relating to inhibitory control. There is much evidence that TS is likely to occur comorbidly with other disorders and that this may exacerbate the presence of cognitive disruptions. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the neurodevelopmental disorders that TS often occurs comorbidly with. This review provides an examination of TS including its clinical presentation, aetiology, comorbidities and cognitive profiles. A similar discussion

Abstract:

The etiology of Tourette syndrome has been elusive for researchers ever since its discovery, making treatment especially difficult. After proving the disorder was organic in the second half of the 20th century, researchers have been creating theories of the underlying neural basis for Tourette’s symptomatology. These theories include abnormalities in brain structure, dysregulation of the dopamine system, dysregulation of the serotonin system and overall neurotransmitter system interactions. The etiology is likely a complex combination of all of these. Treatments for this disorder include pharm

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a childhood-onset neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by multiple motor and one or more phonic tics. TS affects all races and ethnic groups and its prevalence is estimated to be 1% of school children who are 6 to 17 years old. The etiology of this disorder is unknown, but there is strong evidence that supports the involvement of genetic factors. No specific gene unequivocally increasing the risk for TS has been identified. However, positive linkage and association studies, as well as chromosomal anomalies have been reported in the past. The aim of this study was

Abstract:

This review considers how young people's Quality of Life (QoL) is affected by the symptoms of Tourette Syndrome (TS). The construct of QoL aims to capture how satisfied a person is with their level of functioning in life, rather than assuming that those with mild symptoms have a higher QoL than those with severe symptoms. This may be particularly relevant in TS, where a strong relationship between symptom severity and well-being has not been established. The research into QoL in TS is limited, but there is a wide body of evidence that suggests TS can impair functioning across many domains. Thi

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by vocal and motor tics. It is associated with cortical–striatal–thalamic–cortical (CSTC) circuit dysfunction and hyper-excitability of cortical motor regions. TS follows a developmental time course, in which tics often become increasingly more controlled during adolescence. Importantly, however, a substantial minority of patients continue to have debilitating tics into adulthood. This indicates that there may be important differences between adult TS patients and children and adolescents with the disorder. The first aim of
