If your child is experiencing tics, understanding what’s happening can provide reassurance.
Tics are relatively common in childhood and often present as sudden, repetitive movements or sounds that a child does not consciously control. While they can be concerning to observe, many tics are temporary and may resolve over time.
For some children, however, tics may persist or begin to affect daily life. A specialist assessment can help to understand what is happening, identify any contributing factors, and provide clear guidance on next steps.
We offer clinically led assessments to support children and young people experiencing tics, helping families understand underlying patterns and contributing factors, and providing clear guidance on next steps, particularly where tics are affecting confidence, wellbeing, or daily life.
Tics are brief, involuntary movements or sounds that can vary in frequency and intensity.
They are typically grouped into:
Motor tics — movements such as blinking, facial movements, shoulder shrugging, or head movements
Vocal tics — sounds such as throat clearing, sniffing, or repeating words
Tics often begin in childhood and may change over time. They can increase or decrease depending on a child’s environment, stress levels, or routine.
