"Overcoming Obstacles and Winning the Game of Life" As a child with Tourette Syndrome, Brad Cohen was ridiculed, beaten, and shunned. As an adult, he has responded to the challenge of Tourette Syndrome by living life to its fullest. With a bachelor's and master's degree in elementary and early childhood education, Cohen has been a highly respected teacher near Atlanta, Georgia for 13 years. He not only teaches reading, math and computers, but he also teaches his students and colleagues how to accept people who are different. He was given Georgia's First Class Teacher of the Year Award, in recognition of his service as an outstanding teacher and positive role model. In December 2008, Brad Cohen's story was featured in a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie based on his inspirational book Front of the Class: How Tourette Syndrome Made Me the Teacher I Never Had."
