Robert grew up very close to his uncle Mickey (not pictured) who was born with Downs Syndrome. It is because of a desire to see better lives for people like Mickey that Robert became a Special Education instructor. Robert has been a certified teacher in California and Illinois since graduating from Southern Illinois University in 1991. He has a Master's degree in special education from California State University - Dominguez Hills and finished the required studies to get his Board Certification as a Behavior Analyst by the University of North Texas. In addition to his University education, Robert has also had the pleasure of participating in 3 workshops with Verbal Behavior/ABA Specialist, Dr. James Partington in California and 2 workshops from the Carbone clinic in New York (two of the leading names in modern ABA). Additionally Robert has engaged in many other ABA and Verbal Behavior workshops and trainings around the world. In addition to his ABA experiences, Robert has also received training in TEACCH, PECS, Sign Language, Floortime, and Crisis prevention and intervention. He is an autism intervention author and international presenter and Robert brings all of this knowledge to his work with children. To keep up with the latest information and techniques, Robert continues to return to the States regularly for workshops and seminars with the goal of staying on top of the latest information and developments in the field.

"Educate Toward Recovery"
"Robert Schram ha scritto il libro, "Educate Toward Recovery", un must da leggere per genitori, terapisti e insegnanti di bambini con autismo. Si tratta di un libro chiaro, sentito, informativo, che fornisce la terminologia comportamentale in modo da essere facilmente comprensibile e applicabile. Vi viene meravigliosamente spiegata l’Applied Behavior Analysis come trattamento efficace e scientificamente validato per l’autismo. Il libro di Robert offre una realistica speranza in un mondo dove ce n’è bisogno al massimo. Personalmente consigliamo questo libro a ogni genitore o educatore di bambini con necessità speciali." (Cherish Twigg, MS, BCBA and Holly Kibbe, MS, BCBA, Establishing Operations, inc. Holly and Cherish sono state formate dal Dr. Vince Carbone MS. BCBA e sono due delle maggiori giovani leaders dell’intervento Verbal Behavior).
Schramm offre nel libro numerosi esempi pratici per dimostrare i principi comportamentali chiave che sono essenziali per capire come imparano i bambini con autismoe presenta metodi provati che “catturano” la motivazione ad apprendere dei bambini. Una bella lettura per genitori, insegnanti, terapisti e medici!
