Hi Taffi and welcome to NeuroTalk

I am not sure if you are aware that Tourette Syndrome has recently been classified as "other health impaired" so that it is recognised as a disability.

I would strongly recommend that you get hold of the TSA and see if they can refer you to an advocate who can help you with this
http://www.tsa-usa.org

as a mom of a child with TS/OCD/ADD and Crohn's I most certainly know how hard it is to maintain a "normal" schedule
The attorney who accused you of trying to get a "free ride" for them obviously knows zilch of the suffering that both severe TS and Crihn's can cause
BTW, I have also done a thread documenting the success we have had in keeping my son's Crohn's under control with supplements

we recently had some stressful events occur and he had a major flare up of all his symptoms, but once again, tweaking his supplements has been so beneficial and things have clamed agin in his sytem

re TS, there is an excellent book by Sheila Roger's called Tics and Tourettes: Breakthough Discoveries in Natural Treatments

I would be happy to answer any questions you may have Taffi.....and I sure hope you find someone to advocate in getting your kids the help they need
