Dr. Kristine Turko, BCBA

Rooted in the belief that meaningful change happens through connection, my work centers on transforming futures through community partnerships, immersive education, and compassionate autism intervention. As a professor, cognitive psychologist, and board-certified behavior analyst, I’m committed to bridging research and practice in autism education. At the University of Mount Union, I lead the Spectrum Education Center, where students engage directly with families and schools, gaining hands-on experience in evidence-based practices that make a real difference in the lives of individuals with autism.
