Nadine Schramm

Nadine is a pioneer in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in Germany. Together with her husband, Robert, she co-founded Germany’s first ABA organization, helping introduce evidence-based autism services to families at a time when such support was virtually unknown and unavailable.

Her journey began in the late 1990s, not as an executive, but as a dedicated therapist supporting a young child with autism. That experience introduced her to Applied Behavior Analysis and Verbal Behavior sparking a lifelong passion for helping autistic children reach their fullest potential while empowering the families who support them. Determined to bring the highest standards of care to Germany, Nadine and Robert trained extensively with internationally recognized ABA organizations and experts through conferences, workshops, and professional collaborations across Europe and beyond. Nadine has played an important role in expanding the understanding and implementation of ABA and Verbal Behavior (ABA/VB) methodologies in Europe.

For more than 20 years, Nadine has served families throughout Germany and across Europe. Her collaborative, family-centered approach has helped shape the development of high-quality autism services while inspiring the next generation of clinicians.

Today, Nadine serves as Chief Executive Officer for Knospe-ABA and Knospe-Lerncenter, overseeing daily operations and working closely with clinic directors, department leaders, and clinical teams to ensure exceptional care for every family the organization serves. Although her responsibilities have grown, her mission remains unchanged—to improve the lives of autistic individuals and their families through compassionate, evidence-based services.
