Comprehensvie Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT)
CBIT is a combination of several behavioral techniques that has been shown, in early studies, to manage tics in individuals
with Tourette syndrome (TS). Although CBIT will not abolish tics in people with TS, CBIT may help individuals with this disorder
manage and control their tics. It can be used alone or with medications. There are currently multi-site trials for determining
the effectiveness of CBIT in children and adults. The following links are from the Ask the Expert section of the TSA newsletter
