The Comprehensive Behavior Intervention for Tics (CBIT) program is a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and habit reversal training that consists of weekly 1-1 virtual sessions. The goal is to significantly reduce tics and associated symptoms in a short time. 

​

This approach will significantly increase confidence and advocacy skills, along with strategies to reduce sensory hypersensitivities, anxiety, and comorbidities such as OCD, ADHD, and sleep issues.

​

CBIT is a non-medicated treatment consisting of three important components:
1) Becoming more aware of your tics and the urge to tic
2) Training to do a competing behavior when they feel the urge to tic
3) Making changes to day-to-day activities in ways that can be helpful in reducing tics

​We recommend this CBIT program for individuals older than 7 years old. Family members will play a part in the CBIT program as well.
