Function-based Interventions Assess and address antecedents
and consequences Provoking experiences Social consequences
Positive reinforcement – active rewards Negative reinforcement – escape
consequences

Change In Advice Old - intuitive
Ignore tics Can’t be controlled Don’t punish Behavioral treatments
don’t work Don’t try to suppress Suppression worsens tics Suppression worsens
premonitory urges New tics develop when you
suppress
New - counterintuitive Become more aware Learn to manage Reward successful
management Use behavioral strategies Tics don’t get worse with
behavioral treatment Premonitory urge will fade
away New tics don’t develop
when you use behavioral strategies

Parent specific advice Old - intuitive
Advocacy Provide support Provide comfort Protect Don’t think about them Give time to tic Ignore tics Reduce stress Celebrate your specialness
New – counterintuitive Advocacy Take on challenges Comfort very carefully Expose Be mindful Take time to manage Understand their ABCs Stress proof tic
management skills Celebrate successes

New Treatment Paradigms Readiness for reducing tic severity
Comorbidity management Family and child intervention for “CBIT
Lifestyle” CBIT CBIT + Meds Meds + CBIT Meds + CBIT to CBIT only Training nurses in Neurology clinics Parent training for children under 9 yrs

What will assessment and treatment
look like in the future? Tics as a “marker” for neurodevelopmental disorders
Complete work up for co-morbidity Treat comorbidity aggressively with meds and behavioral
treatment Monitoring for development of new comorbid conditions
First contacted doc will know the new advice. First intervention would be to work with families to
provide a non-reinforcing environment for tics Parents would take what works to the school and
advocate for a non-reinforcing environment for tics Professionals’ (all types) offices would teach specific
interventions for a specific tic as tics develop. Kids would learn management strategies as they go

Not without controversy Neurological disorder What will teachers say? Tics get worse when you suppress If you suppress other tics will get
worse How can one focus on activities if
they are suppressing?

Does Symptom Substitution Occur?
Vocal tics decreased, untreated motor tics did not change or decreased
• 83% reduction in vocal tics • 26% reduction in motor tics
Suggests that untreated symptoms at the very least do not change, but may improve following nonpharmacological intervention
Other studies evaluating habit reversal have also not reported adverse symptom increases, nor have they reported excessively high dropout rates

What is the effect of stress? Stress makes tics worse How?
Mental stress – time math test Tic severity unchanged Stress impacts ability to suppress
Clinical Implications – Stress proof CBIT
