Tic Busters Group Project
This project involves the development and evaluation of a group treatment program for children with tics. Group content is grounded in Comprehensive Behavioural Intervention for Tics (CBIT), an empirically-validated treatment typically delivered as individual therapy. The present study involves an examination of outcomes with regard to tics and associated impairment when CBIT is administered in a group format.GrantsStudent Bursary Award, Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario ($325)
