En savoir plus sur le livre
This book offers a comprehensive overview of pica, focusing on its presentation in children, adolescents, and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disabilities (ID). It begins with current theories and definitions, then delves into how developmental disabilities complicate diagnosis and intervention. The text outlines evidence-based, clinically sound approaches for treating and preventing pica in school and adult clinical settings, including behavioral treatments and function-based interventions. It also addresses common diagnostic and provider issues that often lead to pica being overlooked in individuals with ASD and ID. Key topics include an accessible definition of pica, methods for prevention and treatment in developmentally disabled populations, functional and behavioral assessment techniques, a variety of effective treatments, illustrative case studies, and service delivery challenges. Additionally, it highlights areas for future research and practice. This resource is invaluable for researchers, clinicians, and graduate students in clinical child and school psychology, behavior analysis, social work, child and adolescent psychiatry, pediatrics, family studies, and special education.
