Individual: I assume you meant special accommodations in a school setting. Accommodations are very individual & are meant to allow students with disabilities to have equal access to education. The problems with OCD & tourette's are certainly complex, often requiring unique educational approaches, including civility & social acceptance. This is a must do conversation to have with your doctor.

Not necessarily. : Both of those issues can be well- controlled with medication. Is there any suspicion of a learning disorder which would require accommodation?
