Organized by the University of Rochester Medical Center in collaboration with the New York Consortium for Tourette, this virtual event has the following learning objectives:

​

The NJCTS Tim Howard Leadership Academy is a unique, interactive experience designed just for teens with Tourette Syndrome.
