J Pedi Neuropsychol. 2017;42(8):815–22. As management of Tourette’s syndrome and comorbid conditions remains an extremely important focus of recent literature, these investigators proposed a tiered model. The model begins with universal cognitive screening of all children with medical illness, moving into targeted screening for those at particular risk given their illness or who exceeded universal screening cut-offs, and conducting the most comprehensive evaluations with those populations at greatest risk, who have experienced medical events with established impact on the CNS, or those already demonstrating clear functional impairments to bypass monitoring or screening assessments. The model is intended to efficiently prevent the comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation of children for whom it is not necessary, thereby saving time and financial resources.
