This study compared the effects of water mist and aromatic ammonia for the suppression of pica behavior in a severely retarded, autistic adolescent. The water mist program reduced the target behavior rapidly and effectively, whereas the ammonia program did so only after a strong increase during the first two sessions. No negative collateral effects on other inappropriate behaviors occurred during either one of the two treatments. Water mist maintained almost complete suppression of pica behavior during 3 months of daily follow-up sessions in the subject's natural environment.
