Williams, Don E.; Kirkpatrick-Sanchez, Sharon; Enzinna, Christie; Dunn, Jacqueline; Borden-Karasack, Deborah – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2009
Background: Pica is a very dangerous form of self-injurious behaviour because one occurrence can be lethal. Dealing successfully with dangerous pica in a large institution requires a high level of administrative support. It cannot be relegated to each psychologist to write a programme. A written behaviour programme is only one component of…
