The automatically reinforced self‐injury of a girl with autism was treated by providing noncontingent access to a single set of preferred toys during 30‐min sessions. The reductive effects of the intervention waned as the session progressed. Rotating toy sets after 10 min or providing access to multiple toy sets resulted in reductions that lasted the entire 30 min.
