Shelly Hutchinson, M.Ed., SSW, BCBA, LBA

Shelly is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. She graduated from Utah Valley University with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a minor in Autism Studies, and a master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. Since 2016, she has been part of the ScenicView Academy team, where she combines evidence-based ABA strategies with a compassionate, strengths-focused approach. While at UVU, she contributed to multiple research projects on autism and mental health, presenting findings at both local and regional conferences.

Her master’s thesis focused on applying Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) principles to help individuals clarify what truly matters to them, increase motivation, and make choices that align with their values, even in the face of challenges. Shelly has taught classes and worked one-on-one with young adults to build self-confidence, strengthen executive functioning skills, and apply problem-solving abilities to real-life situations. She particularly enjoys helping clients notice when they’re “stuck” and learn practical strategies for moving forward in ways that align with their personal goals.

Outside of work, Shelly enjoys music, exploring family history, traveling to state and national parks, and spending time with friends and family playing games.
