It is rooted in Habit Reversal Training (HRT), a well-established behavioral approach. Research has shown CBIT to be an effective, non-medication treatment for tic disorders, sometimes providing results comparable to pharmaceutical options. CBIT offers a structured approach to improving quality of life for those who experience tic behaviors. In this presentation, learn more about how CBIT relates to ABA - informing interventions for current clients and perhaps opening new avenues for your practice.
