Clinical Director
Adrienne Robek, PhD, BCBA-D, is a doctoral-level psychologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst, with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals on the autism spectrum. As Clinical Director at Jumpstart Center in Doha, she provides individualized, evidence-based ABA services, with a strong focus on program development, supervision, and clinical oversight. That oversight is what ensures every intervention delivered under her direction is high-quality, ethical, and effective.
Her work extends well beyond direct practice. Dr. Robek is the author of My Child Has Autism – A Handbook for Parents and Professionals, and the developer of a copyrighted ABA curriculum that shapes how her programs are structured and delivered. Over her career, she has established home-based ABA divisions in New York City and implemented ABA programs in specialized centers in India and Qatar — experience that gives her a cross-cultural perspective on how effective autism support can be built in very different settings.
She also holds FTF Level 2 certification in Practical Functional Assessment and Skill-Based Treatment (PFA/SBT), reflecting her commitment to modern, skills-based, and compassionate ABA that prioritizes a child’s dignity and emotional safety alongside measurable progress. In addition, Dr. Robek is a Certified ADHD Coach, extending her expertise into supporting attention, self-regulation, and executive functioning skills for children, adolescents, and adults.
For families, this combination of clinical depth, published expertise, and hands-on program-building means working with someone who not only understands the science of ABA, but has spent decades applying it responsibly and refining it in practice.
