Abstract

The aim of this report was to show that most
behavioral disorders need multidisciplinary manage-
ment by behaviorist, neurologist, psychiatrist, psy-
chologist and pedagogue, and to give more informa-
tion about Tourette’s syndrome so that it can be de-
tected earlier. Therefore, children who suffer from it
can live a better life and develop their ability.
