Collaborative partnerships for the Tourette Syndrome community.
The New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome (NJCTS) is a not-for-profit organization committed to the advocacy of children and families with Tourette Syndrome and its associated disorders. There are as many as 1 in 100 kids with Tourette Syndrome – most of them undiagnosed, misdiagnosed and misunderstood.
NJCTS provides answers for these kids and their families through referrals to programs and services, education and training so that families, peers and professionals will be better qualified to help those with TS, and support of research programs so that we can find better treatments and a cure.
Kids with TS “just can’t help it.” But you can help us help them. Dedicated to delivering high-quality services to children and families with Tourette Syndrome and its associated disorders, NJCTS recognizes the importance of educating the public, medical professionals, and teachers about this disorder through programs and affiliations with public schools, health centers, and universities.
To ensure that individuals with Tourette Syndrome are contributing members of their communities and society at large, the Center is committed to leading the promotion and development of diagnostic and treatment therapies and actively supporting research for a cure.
