Shelly Hutchinson
Behavioral Specialist x
Shelly Hutchinson Behavioral Skills Specialist Shelly graduated from Utah Valley University with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a minor in Autism Studies and has worked at ScenicView Academy since 2016. While at UVU, she was privileged to engage in several research projects relating to mental health issues and autism. The results of those research projects have been presented at conferences locally as well as out-of-state. Shelly's passion for working with individuals with autism started when family members and friends had children who were diagnosed with autism. Since that time, she has been involved in implementing principles of behavior change in order to better serve those with whom she works and associates. Prior to receiving her bachelor's degree, Shelly worked as a teacher's assistant in an elementary school. The majority of her duties involved working individually or in small groups with children with learning differences. This experience taught her that everyone has strengths and using those strengths can help individuals face their challenges. This concept has been enhanced and expanded upon in her work teaching students how to create, revise, and implement systems in their daily lives. She loves assisting students in strengthening their executive function skills both individually as well as in the classroom setting. Shelly believes students become empowered as they gain confidence in their own problem solving abilities. In her free time, Shelly loves exploring family history, traveling (especially to state and national parks), and playing games with friends and family. |
