  • Síndrome De Tourette: Uma Análise Biográfica a Partir Do Filme “O Primeiro Da Classe”
    SÍNDROME DE TOURETTE: UMA ANÁLISE BIOGRÁFICA A PARTIR DO FILME “O PRIMEIRO DA CLASSE” Anne Caroline Silva Aires – Graduanda em Pedagogia José Batista de Farias Neto- Graduando em História Martha Valéria Silva Araújo– Graduanda em Pedagogia Adenize Queiroz de Farias- Orientadora Universidade Estadual da Paraíba (UEPB) [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Resumo A Síndrome de Tourette (ST) é uma síndrome neuropsiquiátrica que integra o espectro dos transtornos de tiques. Tiques são vocalizações ou movimentos involuntários, rápidos, não-rítmicos, repetitivos e estereotipados. Partindo deste pressuposto escolhemos o filme “O Primeiro da Classe”, para melhor entender e compreender como ocorre essa síndrome em Brad e como ele reagiu aos preconceitos encontrados na sociedade. Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar os fatores interligando os conteúdos pesquisados sobre a Tourette com os autores Loureiro (2012), Jankovic (2001) e Metz (2007) e com relação ao filme destacando os planos e sequência mais marcantes do mesmo. Nesta situação o filme supracitado traz uma história biográfica de Brad Cohen que desde os seus sete anos de idade sofre rejeições, tanto das instituições de ensino que estudou, quanto pelo seu pai. Na maior parte das vezes, o preconceito é resultado de falta de informação, desconhecimento, ignorância. De fato, algumas pessoas buscam algum tipo de segurança quando escolhem encapsular a diferença de alguém em algum tipo de rótulo. Essas rejeições se davam porque Brad fazer "barulhos", e as pessoas não entendiam, achava que era uma brincadeira de mau gosto e o desprezavam e o castigavam por isso. Brad nunca foi vítima da sua deficiência.

Við höfum fjölfaldað eitthvað af þeim blöðungum og bæklingum sem lágu frammi eða dreift var á ráðstefnunni og svo fólk getið fengið eintök af þeim. Landsþing bandarísku Tourette-samtakanna var haldið í byrjun apríl Um alllangt skeið hafa Tourette-samtökin sent fulltrúa á þing þetta, sem haldið er annað hvert ár, en árið 2006 fór þó enginn frá okkur. Nú fóru þrír úr stjórninni, einn unglingur með Tourette, og einn fylgifiskur. Ráðstefnan var haldin í Alexandria, rétt utan við Washington, eins og undanfarin skipti og stóð frá 4. til 6. apríl. Ráðstefnunni var skipt upp í fjórar línur eftir því hverju erindin tengdust: læknisfræðilegar upplýsingar og hegðunarlegar; menntunarlegar upplýsingar og lagalegar; lína fyrir fullorðna og ungt fólk með Tourette; og lína fyrir unglinga. Margir vel menntaðir og virtir fyrirlesarar voru með erindi, margir þeirra með TS sjálfir og aðrir ekki. Heiti erinda voru til dæmis: Nýjungar varðandi meðferðir kækja og tengdra raskana Þegar áhyggjur mínar verða of miklar! Að komast gegnum unglingsárin og líta fram á við Stjórnun á hvatvísi og reiði – fyrir foreldra barna með TS og tengdar raskanir Menntunarmöguleikar Að eiga við vinnumarkaðinn TS í fjölmiðlum Að fást við erfiðar aðstæður í skóla TS og fjölskyldulíf – einstæðir foreldrar,

  • The School and Social Experiences of Tourette Syndrome Through The
    The School and Social Experiences of Tourette Syndrome through the First-Person Perspective of Youth: A Theatre-Based Approach to Community-Based Research by Alan D. Jeans A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education Department of Secondary Education University of Alberta © Alan D. Jeans, 2016 ii Abstract Tourette Syndrome Plus (TS+) is a “neuropsychiatric or brain-based condition that causes people who have it to make involuntary sounds or movements called tics” (Tourette Canada, n. d., para. 1). Individuals with TS+ may also have a number of associated disorders such as OCD, ADHD, and Anxiety Disorder. Community-based research and popular theatre activities were used in this research to explore social and educational issues that may arise for youth with TS+ aged 14-15. The topic of TS+ is viewed through social models of disability and utilizes a transformative worldview. This research explores the role of theatre in building self-advocacy skills, increasing self-confidence, and/or improving upon socialization skills for youth with TS+. Youth with TS+ participated in weekly theatre sessions to create a script that demonstrated their experiences with TS+. This script was performed to an audience of TS+ community members, as well as members of the University of Alberta community. The collaboratively created script, titled “Ditched,” follows the character of Thomas as he engages with the notions of bullying, popularity, and exclusion. This research found that youth with TS+ may carry with them internalized loneliness, guilt, and/or shame for having TS+. These internalized feelings may manifest in youths’ withdrawal from social situations, and may also impact youths’ self-confidence and their ability to self-advocate.

  • Biography Long for Speaker Brad Cohen
    Brad Cohen Inspirational Educator As a child with Tourette Syndrome, Brad Cohen was ridiculed, beaten, mocked, and shunned. Other children, teachers, and even sometimes family members found it difficult to be around him. His mother’s encouragement and his brother’s support were key elements that kept him going. College and then job hunting brought new challenges, but he continued to strive toward his goal to be a teacher and was rewarded when he was named Georgia’s First Class Teacher of the Year. Even today Brad is ejected from movie theaters and restaurants. Nothing has stopped him from taking leadership roles in a variety of settings and being a role model for others. This story of personal challenge and unwavering determination proves anyone can make their dreams come true. No one can hear Brad’s story and fail to see the power of a positive attitude. Brad is from Atlanta, Georgia and is an Area Lead Teacher for Cobb County Schools. He is responsible for teaching the teachers. Prior to that he taught 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and was a technology lab teacher. Brad has served as Vice President of the Board of Governors for the Tourette Syndrome Association of Georgia, and also founded an overnight camp, "Camp Twitch and Shout" for children with Tourette syndrome.
