Integrative Treatment for Co-occurring Challenges in Tourette’s

This is a live interactive webinar presentation.

Though Tourette’s is commonly thought of for its tics, there are many other co-occurring challenges owing to its unique neurology (Cravedi et al, 2017). The current webinar will instruct clinicians in identification and assessment of common co-occurring challenges and application of this knowledge to the treatment of patients with Tourette’s. Particular focus will be given to the phenomenon of intense emotionality in individuals with Tourette’s (Sukhodolsky et al., 2003; Sukhodolsky et al.,, 2009; Leclerc et al., 2011; Conte et al.,, 2020). Techniques discussed will involve integration of competing response training with acceptance-oriented techniques to improve the ability of patients to adhere to and complete treatment protocols (Lavoie, Leclerc, & O’Connor, 2013; Franklin et al., 2011; Peterson et al., 2016).

At the completion of the program, participants will be able to:

• Identify common co-occurring challenges in Tourette’s
• Describe co-occurring challenges in functional behavioral terms
• Combine mindfulness and competing response training for Tourette’s
• Develop a treatment plan to address primary and secondary challenges for patients with Tourette’s
