Treatments for Transient Tic Disorder
INFORMATIVE 
Tags: Transient Tic Disorder, tourettism, minor psychological disturbance, movements, treatments
Clinicians recommend that family members call no attention to the tics at first, since unwanted attention may make the tics worse.
If tics are severe enough to cause problems in school or work, behavioral techniques are recommended and medications may be considered.
| | A holistic approach is recommended for the treatment of tic disorders. |
| | Treatment should include the following: |
| | A multidisciplinary team should work together with the affected child's parents and teachers to put together a comprehensive treatment plan. |
| | Educating the patient and family about the course of the disorder in a reassuring manner. |
| | Completion of necessary diagnostic tests, including self-reports (by child and parents); clinician-administered ratings; and direct observational methods. |
| | Comprehensive assessment, including the child's cognitive abilities, perception, motor skills, behavior and adaptive functioning. |
| | Collaboration with school personnel to create a learning environment conducive to academic success. |
| | Therapy, most often behavioral or cognitive-behavioral, though other modalities may be appropriate. |
| | If necessary, evaluation for medication. |
