We received a lovely email by a young girl called Lucy at the start of this year. She explained what life is like living with Tourette Syndrome and the experiences she has dealt with on a day-to-day basis in the education system. Lucy wants to raise awareness with her book ‘I Can’t Make It Stop’ through a variety of platforms including supply agencies, community halls, etc. We were more than happy to help her with this by inviting her and her family into our office to discuss further ways in which we can raise awareness.
