Brad Cohen Biography

Brad Cohen is a well-known figure in the education system, serving as an author, teacher, and school administrator. With over two decades of experience in teaching, Cohen has notably served as the assistant vice principal at Addison Elementary School in Cobb County, Georgia, and previously taught second and third grade in addition to being a technology lab instructor. He was honored with the Sallie Mae First Class Teacher of the Year Award in 1997, an accolade that underscores his dedication to the field of education.

In addition to his contributions to the education sector, Cohen has been proactive in sharing his experiences with severe Tourette Syndrome. His book "Front of the Class: How Tourette Syndrome Made Me the Teacher I Never Had" was published in 2005, earning the Independent Publisher Book Award for Best Education Book. This work was later adapted into the Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie "Front of the Class" in 2008 and the Bollywood film "Hichki" in 2018. Cohen's advocacy for an authentic portrayal of Tourette Syndrome in these adaptations demonstrates his commitment to raising awareness about the condition.

Cohen has also been active in community service and advocacy. He served as the vice president of the Tourette Syndrome Association of Georgia and started an overnight summer camp for children with Tourette’s. Additionally, he is the President of the Brad Cohen Tourette Foundation, Inc., which supports programs for children with Tourette Syndrome. His community involvement has earned him recognition, such as being a semi-finalist in the Ben and Jerry’s Citizen Cool Contest and being inducted into the Parkway Hall of Fame in St. Louis. Cohen continues to be an influential figure in his field, leveraging his personal experiences to bring about positive changes in the lives of others.
