Debby is a pediatric occupational therapist who graduated from Keuka College in 2001 and has been working with the birth-to-five population for over 20 years. During this time, she has supported children with a variety of developmental diagnoses, including Tic Disorders and common co-occurring conditions such as anxiety and sensory processing difficulties. She is also the mother of a young adult with Tourette Syndrome, whose diagnosis took many years due to challenges in recognizing and understanding his symptoms. After witnessing firsthand how life-changing a timely diagnosis and appropriate support can be, Debby became dedicated to helping other parents and professionals increase awareness of the complexities of TS and its common co-occurring conditions. She is trained as an TAA education volunteer, providing in-service trainings to school staff, and also helps facilitate the TAA Jr. Youth Ambassador Program. Debby looks forward to the Jr. Youth Ambassador Program each year and enjoys watching young children connect with peers who have TS, gain confidence, and begin learning to advocate for themselves. She also provides sensory and behavioral support at her chapter’s annual camp for children with Tic Disorders.
