Day One - National Tourette Syndrome Youth Ambassador/ Leadership Conference - Registration and Orientation
As mentioned in an earlier post, my son Kenny was nominated and selected this year to represent the states of Washington/Oregon at the National Tourette Syndrome Association Youth Ambassador/Leadership Conference at our Nation's Capital in Washington D.C. At this conference both Kenny and I received training on how to advocate for those diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome by educating students, teachers, parents and the community on what this disorder entails and how we can provide support.
Kenny meeting other kids around the nation also diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome.

I apologize for not posting in awhile. However, Kenny and I just got back from Washington D.C. last week attending the National Tourette Syndrome Association Youth Ambassador Leadership Training. Kenny was selected on scholarship to represent both Washington and Oregon State! I am so proud of him. At any rate, the month of March has been so busy for our family and April is shaping up to be a bit the same. So hang in there, I plan on posting pictures of our trip by tomorrow! Please check back soon!

Kenny and Jonah, who also has Tourettes Syndrome, have become friends knowing they are not alone with this disorder. The boys have tongue depressors in their mouth to simulate how oral orthotics can help relieve tics associated with Tourettes.
