ABOUT CBIT TRAINER

The main section of CBIT Trainer, and where you will learn to use CBIT, is the Training section. This section is comprised of 12 Modules that include a mix of lectures and demonstration videos, so you can see examples of the treatment being done with multiple patients and by a variety of therapists. There will be short knowledge checks along the way, just to confirm that you are learning the key aspects of CBIT. If you feel like you haven’t learned a concept fully, don’t worry, you can always go back to watch the lessons again. At the right of your screen you will see a “toolbox” tab. This tab contains additional video demonstrations to support skills being taught in the lesson. You can watch these to supplement your learning. The Training section takes about ten hours to complete.

In this area you will find all of the resources you will need as you begin to work with patients on their tics. Here you will see multiple examples of different simple and complex tics, sample competing responses that can be used to help with different types of tics, as well as resources you will need along the way such as videos demonstrating how to do specific therapeutic activities, forms you will need for different activities, and all assessment materials. Once you have completed the Training, everything you will need for success in doing.

Because we want your experience with CBIT Trainer to be as comprehensive as possible, we have made consultation sessions with CBIT experts a voluntary part of the program. In the Consultation section, you will be able to schedule meetings, for a fee, in either an individual or group format with a CBIT expert. Some cases are harder than others and we want to support you along the way. Consultation is a great resource for ongoing CBIT support, especially if you have a difficult case.

You may not want to schedule additional formal consultation, but may have a question that you want answered. Similar to other online forums, you will be able to ask CBIT-related questions to others who are using the site, you can answer questions that others ask, or get support from other people who also treat tics.

Once you have completed the CBIT Trainer program, you will be able to create a profile and receive referrals. The Referral portal is for patients and families of individuals with a tic disorder to find you and for you to connect with other CBIT-trained people around the world.

In this portal, you will be able to answer questions to obtain continuing education credits for the training, and you can register for webinars and other educational opportunities to continue your CBIT education.

Here you will find articles, links to helpful information, and other evidence based resources for families who are struggling with tics.
