ABA glossary

Pica

Repeatedly eating or mouthing and swallowing items that are not food, such as paint chips, dirt, or small objects. Because it can cause serious injury, it is often a high-priority target.

Example from a session

A child picks paper and lint off the floor and eats them several times a day.
