Lecture on Tourette syndrome by Author Marc Elliot

Marc Elliot, author of “What Makes You Tic?” and an inspirational speaker uses his experience of living with Tourette syndrome for 20 years and an intestinal disease that left him virtually no intestines, to convey a simple message of tolerance. 

Elliot has been featured on the national Television show “The Doctors” and also in "The New York Times." Students, teachers, parents, and principals from all walks of life stand to gain from hearing Marc.

 Elliot will be speaking at Shalom Torah Academy, 70 Amboy Road, Morganville, on Monday, March 26 at 7:15 p.m. “What Makes You Tic?”, Leading The Charge on Tolerance is sponsored by The Friendship Circle, an organization which provides countless support services to children, teens and young adults with special needs and their families.
