Abstract

This paper reviews behavioral and pharmacological approaches to the treatment of self-injurious behavior in autism. Both behavioral and pharmacological approaches offer a multitude of treatment options which we hope to elucidate. In providing this review, the goal is to provide an awareness of the treatment options available and to prompt further research on effective treatments for SIB in individuals with autism, specifically behavioral function-driven pharmacological treatment.
