Description

Surges in tic-like behaviors are leaving record numbers of clients underserved.

And if you work with clients with ADHD, anxiety, or OCD without specific training in tics and Tourette’s…

…the fear of misdiagnosis, worsening symptoms, and less effective treatment is a real concern.

That’s where Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) comes in.

Backed by solid research and recommended by the American Academy of Neurology, CBIT is a source of hope for these clients, giving them a toolkit to significantly reduce the severity and frequency of their tic symptoms in as few as 8 sessions.

And now in this training you can learn to use CBIT in your practice so you can meet the growing demand for this specialized care.

You’ll watch expert Dr. Caleb Lack as he takes you through each step of this structured evidence-based technique, from conducting comprehensive assessments to using the specific interventions clients need to manage their tics and reclaim their lives.

You’ll finish this training ready to work with clients with vocal tics or motor tics, with a plan to help them modify the external factors that make their tics worse, redirect oncoming tics into competing behaviors, and reduce “in the moment” tic symptoms with specific strategies.

This is your chance to add a proven treatment to your practice and help clients improve their lives!
