Nancy Hirsch, MS, is a teacher of students with autism and behavior and communication disorders for the Leavenworth County Special Education Cooperative in Leavenworth, Kansas. Addres: Nancy Hirsch, Howard Wilson Elementary School, 616 Grand, Leavenworth, KS 66048.

The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the effects of a pica box in reducing pica behavior in a 10-year-old girl with autism and pica. Using an ABAB design, the availability and nonavailability of a pica box was analyzed in relation to the frequency of the problem behavior. Data, which were collected throughout the student's school day, showed a decrease in pica attempts when the pica box was available to the student.
