| Atypical Boy |
Invisible Disabilities Take Center Stage
The Jim Eisenreich Foundation has commissioned a play for young audiences to help people gain a better understanding about living with invisible disabilities, like Tourette Syndrome and its associated disorders.
Atypical Boy was written by award winning playwright Laurie Brooks and serves as a metaphor about children who live with invisible disabilities. According to Ms. Brooks, the play does not mention specific disabilities; however it covers issues about acceptance, sensitivity to differences, tolerance and peer relationships in an entertaining and thought provoking manner.

| Stadium visits |
Jim Eisenreich will host groups of children with Tourette Syndrome and their families for a night at a professional baseball game. Eisenreich will speak at a pre-game presentation about his lifelong bout with Tourette Syndrome, as well as his time as a Major League Baseball player.
After the presentation, the families are invited to join Eisenreich in attending the game. The Jim Eisenreich Foundation and the host team provide the tickets.
**There are no Stadium Visits scheduled at this time.** |

| Community and Corporate Presentations |
Are you looking for an inspirational speaker for an upcoming meeting? Jim is available for a limited number of appearances each year to meet with corporations, community organizations and schools. His presentations help people understand what it is like living with this neurological disorder and having the desire to overcome any obstacle placed in your way. By providing awareness about what an individual with TS is going through, Jim believes everyone will be more understanding. This will in turn allow the individuals with TS to be more successful in dealing with the disorder.
