The school has a responsibility to meet the needs of the child in the least restrictive environment possible. Pull out to a self-contained classroom is not appropriate for a medical issue that's simply "distracting." Education and support is appropriate. The ability to take a break can also be great.

What's it Like for Kids With Tourette's Growing Up? (46:10)Follow three British boys for 6 months as they go through therapy together to try to learn how to exert some degree of influence over their diverse tics. The therapy increases the tic frequency and variability of one boy, allows another to consciously suppress for up to two hours (followed by a flurry of strong tics afterwards), and makes almost no difference for the third child. The program is worth watching to see the world’s best grandparents alone at 10:15 and then 35:09.
