He makes very loud audible noises frequently and constantly throughout class. He has testing accommodations in place for standardized testing so that he does not disturb other students. However, for classroom assessments he remains in class and tests with the rest of the students. How do I prevent this student from disturbing other students in the class during test time without calling attention to his disorder? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) A student with Tourette's should not be in a regular classroom. There are special in service classes that he or she can be a part of or take as many classes online as possible as a solution. It is absolutely not far to all of the other students who deserve a classroom free from distractions so they may learn the standards. Sometimes the sacrifice of one for the many is the only solution.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: All students deserve to have an equal opportunity to learn. People are exposed to all types of people in the real world. Taking this child out of the classroom does not help their education or foster their needs or those of others.

All students should be integrated into general education as much as possible. It is unfair to the student with tourettes syndrome to remove him or her from general education.

He can't be singled out for an impairment, he may need certain one on one help throughout the day but he can't just be kicked out because of his condition. Meetings need to be set up and a plan.

I think the student should get the education that everyone else is getting. Maybe suggest that the student sits towards the back of the classroom. The students are going to experience different situations in life, and are going to have to accommodate for them. This is definitely not the only solution.
