S7 Ep1: Mind the Kids - Tics: Education, Education, Education

In this special episode of Mind the Kids , “Tics: Education, Education, Education”, hosts Dr. Jane Gilmour , Honorary Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Child Development Programme Director at UCL, and Professor Umar Toseeb from the University of York, take a deep dive into Tourette’s syndrome—what it is, how it manifests, and how it’s often misunderstood. Inspired by the BAFTA award-winning film I, Swear , Jane and Umar discuss the difference between types of tics, what Tourette’s looks like in real life versus in media portrayals, and the realities for children and young people living with the condition today. Their conversation spans everything from neurological and functional tics to the challenges of recognition, school experiences, and how we can all respond with greater empathy and understanding.
