There is but you are not a teacher and have no info on this client to give such advice given this was an anecdote not made to solicit advice. And rather than engage with said anecdote in an appropriate way you chose to make broad assumptions about the plan of a patient who is not your own.As someone with so much experience, I would expect you to understand why that might be inappropriate...

I'm not going to argue or debate the obvious short of specific questions. No matter client specifics, 'hugging' is not a behavioral function. As his therapist rather than a parent or other family member, I am not sure why you'd be 'teaching' hugging to a client. Is that part of the BIP?

I am, in fact, a teacher. I also supervise and work online with BCBAs and their clients. What I wrote was not 'advice' though I don't see that as a problem. It was, instead, an observation.

There is still a great deal to learn. Maybe on my next attempt....
