CBIT

Hi, my son has not been diagnosed yet by a doctor but he has had both motor and verbal tics for over a year now. We haven't taken him to a doctor yet because they were very minor and didn't seem to bother him. He has recently turned 9 and over the last few months his tics have really escalated. What used to be a quiet throat clearing every few minutes has turned into an almost constant loud throat clearing that almost sounds like a bark. We spoke to a specialist on the phone and set up an appointment but cannot be seen for over a month. She told us she would most likely be referring him for CBIT after she meets with him. I'm having a hard time finding a doctor who offers CBIT where I live (northeast Pennsylvania). Does anybody have any reccomendations?

Hi and hello. We are not too far from you here in South NJ. Our 7 year old has also developed motor tics. My wife and I are trying to educate ourselves with tic disorders. We are going to Nemours duPont Pediatrics. Fingers crossed.
