Roberta Mann Benson honored by PACER Center The PACER Leadership Award was presented to Roberta Mann Benson on Oct. 12, 2008 for her dedication to educate professionals and families about mental health needs and learning disabilities.
Dr. Mann developed and continues to sponsor the annual National Ted and Dr. Roberta Mann Foundation Symposium, which this year was attended by 900 educators and families. “Roberta’s vision, exemplary leadership, creativity, commitment and passion have truly made a difference in the world,” says Paula F. Goldberg, PACER’s executive director. “We applaud her strong, caring advocacy for children and adults with mental health needs and learning disabilities.” Roberta Mann received her Ph.D. in education from St. Mary’s University on Oct. 12, and the award was presented at a reception honoring her graduation. Hundreds of parents and professionals alike praised the 2008 Symposium: “I love the new ideas to help my two children with disabilities. Also, as an educator, I will take these ideas and techniques into the classroom. Profound thanks!” “One of the best workshops I’ve gone to and I am an experienced teacher of 35 years.” The Symposium is regarded by professionals in the learning disabilities field as one of the top in the country for its impact on classroom teachers, parents and families.
