Schramm is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), with a

Master's degree in Special Education. An American, living and

working in Germany, is an Autism intervention author and the

lead behavior analyst for Knospe-ABA, Europe's largest ABA/VB autism

intervention institute. Knospe-ABA uses the principles and

procedures of behavior analysis espoused by the biggest names in

ABA/VB to guide the education of over 200 children worldwide.

" Educate Toward Recovery: Turning the Tables on Autism " is commonly

the first book recommended to others by its readers. Specifically

written to share the benefits of the most modern and advanced

procedures of Applied Behavior Analysis, " ETR " offers a clear and

well-developed insight into the " how " and " why " a child with autism

is best served by the Verbal Behavior approach to ABA. Do not let

the name fool you. Educate Toward Recovery does not suggest that the

concept of recovery is attainable for every child or even necessary

for a child's happiness. However, it does discuss what recovery is

(as opposed to the term " cure " ) and why certain procedures common in

traditional ABA programs might be teaching a child discrete skills

but not necessarily teaching him in the direction of recovery.

's Two Day Intensive Introductory ABA/VB Worskhop offers many

of the same topics as the book with more than 20 video

demonstrations of the principles and recommendations in action. The

value of this two-day Introductory workshop comes from its ability

to take the work of ABA/VB pioneers like Partington, Sundberg, and

Carbone, and help make them more understandable and practical for

the parent, therapist, school teacher or other Special Ed.

Professionals working and caring for children with Autistic Spectrum

Disorder.
