Tourette Support for Everyday Life

Why an In-Home Solution Is Needed

While behavioral therapy is recognized as a first-line treatment for tics, access to qualified therapists is limited. Families may face long waitlists, high costs or the need to travel far from home for care. Medications may not be effective or appropriate for every child, leaving parents searching for alternatives.

By providing a structured, easy-to-follow video course, the Frontline program enables parents to take an active role in reducing their child’s tics and fostering a more positive everyday experience.
