Overview
Scatolia, also known as faecal smearing, is a behaviour where individuals, often children but occasionally adults as well, intentionally smear their faeces on surfaces like walls, floors, or themselves. This behaviour can be distressing for caregivers and challenging to manage due to its potential causes and complexities. It's important to understand that scatolia can stem from various factors such as sensory issues, communication difficulties, emotional distress, or even medical conditions like constipation or diarrhoea. By exploring the underlying reasons behind this behaviour, caregivers and professionals can develop effective strategies to support individuals engaging in scatolia and promote positive outcomes.
