Brad Cohen
Brad Cohen is an American motivational speaker, teacher, school administrator, and author who has severe Tourette syndrome (TS). Cohen described his experiences growing up with the condition in his 2005 book, "Front of the Class: How Tourette Syndrome Made Me the Teacher I Never Had", co-authored with Lisa Wysocky. The book has been made into a 2008 "Hallmark Hall of Fame" TV movie titled "Front of the Class", and adapted into a hit 2018 Bollywood film "Hichki".

Cohen was born December 18, 1973. During his childhood, Cohen was accused of being a troublemaker in school and was punished by his teachers for the tics and noises caused by TS. He decided to "become the teacher that he never had". After he graduated and received his teaching certificate, 24 elementary schools rejected him before he was hired at Tritt Elementary School in Cobb County, Georgia. As a new teacher, he was named Georgia's First Class Teacher of the Year.
