Our Approach

Advanced Behavior Change teaches meaningful, individualized skills to children, teens, and parents using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA is a scientifically valid and effective intervention based on the principles of learning and behavior. It has been identified as one of the most effective approaches for helping children with Autism improve their social, language, and life skills. In addition to applying the principles of ABA to develop new behaviors and reshape old behaviors, Dr. Hudson uses Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) to help clients identify their values and commit to taking action to align their lives with those values.

Our Services
ALL SERVICES CAN BE PROVIDED VIA TELEHEALTH OR ​IN PERSON IN JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING

​PARENT COACHING
Parent coaching focuses on teaching parents how to apply the principles of ABA at home. We will work on identifying what is happening, why it’s happening, and what we can change to make life easier for you and your child. Strategies we can use during parent training vary based on your home environment, needs, and long-term goals. We’ll do an introduction or review of the behavioral principles that would be most helpful for your family, and then apply those to your needs. We might work on creating a family schedule, appropriately using a token economy, setting up written or visual instructions for chores, or improving the quality of sibling interactions. Using telehealth, we can support you during trickier times of the day (e.g., dinner, bedtime, chores) and give you suggestions in the moment about how to make that time more successful. In addition, you’ll learn how to take the same principles and techniques and apply them to new situations that come up at home.
​individual aba therapy
Individual ABA therapy targets skills more intensively in more frequent and focused sessions. An initial assessment is conducted and individualized goals are written based on the client’s starting point. The focus of therapy can include increasing positive skills, such as communication, social, and adaptive skills, and decreasing problem behavior. All instruction is provided with the goals of keeping the client engaged, having fun, and wanting to learn. Individual ABA instruction includes a mix of Natural Environment Teaching and Discrete Trial Training. Sessions are limited to 2 hours each in order to provide focused instruction and maintain motivation. A minimum commitment of 6 hours of service per week is required in order to facilitate growth and generalization of skills.
