Helpful insights

This audiobook gave me a better understanding of my new student who has TS. Knowing a little about what he is experiencing and dealing with physically and emotionally gives me the ability to better communicate with him and help him achieve his goals. I can tell that this understanding also helps him relax and learn because he knows that I care and that he has another person on his team.
