MLee Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hi! if your child did CBIT behavior therapy, how old were they? We met with a psychiatrist that is trained in CBIT. It was an evaluation appointment. My son is 9. She was on the fence about if he was too young. I haven’t cxl’d the next appointment which would be an actual therapy appointment. If we cxl, it takes a long time to get another appointment. Hiw old was your child? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evemac Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 My son did this when he was in 6th grade. His therapist was excellent, but honestly my son was not mature and/or patient enough to practice the compensatory behaviors. I thought it might be better to revisit when he is a bit older. I think it depends on the kid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O_Bear Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 My son started CBT for OCD and tics (using replacement techniques for tics) at age 8. He sees a pediatric specialist and it has helped him a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
