What We Do

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a life-long inherited neuropsychiatric disorder that causes involuntary movements and sounds in patients. Appearing during childhood, TS affects 3% of the general population and it is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders (300,000 affected individuals in Ontario).

The clinic provides ongoing care for the local population and acts as a tertiary (specialized) referral centre.

Services

With a physician's referral, new adult patients will be seen by a psychiatrist or neurologist for:

  • Consultation regarding diagnosis and management of symptoms
  • Education about Tourette syndrome and its related conditions
  • Pharmacological management and follow-up
  • Recommendations for home and other agencies

Patients may also be referred by a Tourette syndrome Neurodevelopmental Clinic physician to other members of the team for:

  • Neuropsychological assessment
  • Speech and language assessment/consultation
