Christine Oh-Sung is the founder and CEO of Spectrum Behavioral Therapies (Spectrum). Growing up, she has seen the positive effects that ABA therapy had on the child and family which piqued her initial interest in this field. She received her undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of California in San Diego (UCSD) in 2008, her graduate degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2011 and became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst in 2013. She has volunteered her time at non-profit agencies for children and adults with disabilities since 2000 and has worked at various non-public ABA agencies since 2006.
Throughout the years, Christine has gained extensive knowledge and experience working with children and adults across all functioning levels in homes, schools, and clinic settings. She values having a “family centered” approach and has worked closely with families by collaborating with and training them on implementing ABA strategies outside of therapy sessions.
Spectrum Behavioral Therapies was not just a simple career change for Christine. The decision to open her own agency was made after realizing that the focus was shifting away from the clients. Spectrum was opened in 2018 with the goal of re-establishing the importance of focusing on the client’s needs all while sharing her passion of providing the highest quality treatment to ensure each child can reach their fullest potential.
Christine continues to dedicate her time outside of Spectrum by volunteering at various non-profit organizations for people with autism and other related disorders. She educates parents on autism and ABA and trains high school and college students on how to teach and interact with children and adults with autism and other special needs.
