About Hudson Valley Behavioral Solutions
Hudson Valley Applied Behavior Analyst PLLC (HVABA) began in a small church classroom once a week in the evenings. From that humble beginning, we grew into all that HVABA offers today. HVABA (formerly HVBS) was founded in 2009 by Sheila Jodlowski, Ph.D., BCBA-D, LBA. Dr. J. had experienced so much success using ABA in her self-contained classroom setting and wanted to bring much needed ABA services to the Hudson Valley area.
Hudson Valley ABA offers intensive intervention for children on the autism spectrum. We are in-network providers with many insurance carriers.
Services include Comprehensive ABA Assessments, Individualized Direct Instruction, Functional Behavior Assessments and Behavior Intervention Plans, Parent Training, Social Skills Classes & Special Events.
HVABA is a facility that supports individuals entering our field. As such, we work with local colleges to provide opportunities for students (undergraduate and graduate levels) in the fields of education and psychology to gain knowledge about our science. Students are supervised by licensed behavior analysts and have a rigorous set of modules to complete before working with our children. We have found that our interns leave HVABA with an unparalleled level of experience, but many of them choose to stay and take permanent positions with us!
