WHEN: Saturday March 19, 2016 (9:00AM- 4:00PM)
WHERE: TBD
PRESENTER: Douglas W. Woods, Ph.D.

Doug Woods, PhD, is Dean of the Graduate School and Professor of Psychology at
Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He is co-chair of the Tourette
Association of Americas Medical Advisory Board and serves on the TAAs Behavioral
Sciences Consortium. He has authored or co-authored over 180 papers or chapters, and

What is CBIT?
CBIT is a behavioral approach for managing Tourette Syndrome (TS) and other Tic Disorders that combines
elements of habit reversal training with psycho-education and function-based behavioral interventions. It has
been tested in two parallel multi-site randomized clinical trials and shown to be effective in reducing tics (the
primary symptom of TS) in children and adults.

Who can benefit from learning about CBIT?

CBIT is most appropriate for practitioners with behavioral and clinical expertise, including psychologists,
behavioral therapists, occupational therapists, social workers, physicians, and other allied health and school-
based professionals.

All attendees will receive a copy of the Oxford University Press CBIT Therapist Guide, TS resources, and have the
opportunity to join the Tourette Associations Medical and Allied Professionals Referral List.

There is no cost to attend
