Behavioral Therapy Institute – CBIT Trainings

Recognizing the critical shortage of trained behavioral therapists for treating Tourette Syndrome (TS) and other Tic Disorders, the Tourette Association of America (TAA) has established the Tourette Syndrome Behavior Therapy Institute (TS-BTI). 

Developed by members of the TAA Behavioral Science Consortium, the program is designed to help increase the number and availability of therapists trained in Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT). Programs are held at regular intervals in different locations around the country by our TAA TS-BTI Faculty.

This training is open to the nursing profession, as well as social workers, psychologists, medical doctors, speech pathologists, occupational therapists and all other licensed healthcare providers who will treat individuals with Tourette Syndrome and other Tic Disorders using CBIT.

Attendance Requirements

To qualify for a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION, trainees must attend the entire two-day training program and complete three to five follow-up phone calls/consultation sessions with a designated TS-BTI faculty member. No exceptions will be made to these requirements.
Training Cost:
The cost of registration is payable upon registration. This fee does not include travel, meals, or lodging.
