June 4, 2012 - PRLog -- There are lots of statistics out there that show how Tourette Syndrome has a real, tangible impact on families affected by the neurological disorder. The next New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome & Associated Disorders (NJCTS) Wednesday Webinar, titled “Tourette Syndrome and Its Impact on Children and Families” and scheduled to take place from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. June 27, will detail some of those statistics from the latest Tourette Syndrome Impact Survey – particularly those pertaining to children and TS, adults and TS, and peer victimization and TS.

Presenting will be Dr. Cathy L. Budman, director of the Movement Disorders Program in Psychiatry at North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System and an associate professor of psychiatry at the Hofstra University School of Medicine. Dr. Budman is a clinician investigator specializing in Tourette Syndrome and associated disorders such as OCD, ADHD and anxiety.
