CBIT – Comprehensive behavioral intervention for Tic/Tourettes is an evidence based behavioral treatment protocol. Pronounced ‘See-Bit,’ it is a comprehensive and non-medication treatment modality that can be successfully used with children, teens and adults. 

What is CBIT?

CBIT is a treatment consisting of three important components:
(a) Training the patient to be more aware of his or her tics and the urge to tic.
(b) Training patients to do competing behavior when they feel the urge to tic.
(c) Making changes to day to day activities in ways that can be helpful in reducing tics.
Many of these strategies are already commonly used in the management of TS symptoms. Many adults with TS report that they have come up with strategies similar to 

CBIT to manage their tics. CBIT takes the most effective concepts and blends them with strategies that aid people in learning the techniques quickly.
