Abstract
AbstractThe settings and procedures described in published studies focused on assessing and treating pica may not be relatable or feasible for all practitioners. This brief report demonstrates a successful replication of modified methods for assessing and treating a 16‐year‐old diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder who engaged in pica. The study extended the existing research on pica in the following ways: First, it supported the utility of brief analysis methods, including brief functional analysis (FA) sessions, fewer FA sessions, and a preference assessment requiring less time to complete. Second, it described an FA for pica in a home setting. Finally, it evaluated the utility of differential reinforcement of alternative behavior in the form of mands in treating pica.
