Depending on the impact the tics are having there are meds available. My son is also on an IEP now that is to accomadate when he is high ticcing(very active). It also enforces that he doesn't get into trouble if there is an anal teacher who has to be forced to do the right thing(had that last year). My son doesn't take any meds but is given the opportunity to leave the room for walks or is sent on errands to break the ticcing cycle. For me just knowing helped.
