Can the ATC ABS sensitivity be adjusted?

My ABS kicks in sometimes when I brake on a rough road and the other day right after the abs kicked in at a light I then tried accelerating and the ATC kicked in. Its only happened this one time about a week ago and I've put some miles on the car since. Bud of mine said that my wheel sensor might have had some dust or dirt on it which caused this to happen. I was thinking that maybe the "sensitivity" either on the throttle body or wheel sensor needs to be adjusted-is this possible?

Different tire sizes, or even one new and one worn tire of the same size, on an axle will increase the chance of ABS and ATC.

I wouldnt consider one time a big deal at all. I activate my nannies all the time. In your case it was probably just the rough surface. If it had any gravel then the surface was surely to blame.
