Roberta Bento had cerebral palsy at birth. A learning disability was one of the expected consequences along with other challenges that she would have to face. The years passed, and neuroscience brought a discovery that explains how that fragile child managed to become an internationally recognized educator. Bringing together neuroscience, education, and life history, she shows how parents and teachers can make a difference in a child's learning ability so that they develop their full potential!
Roberta Bento graduated in literature, specializing in language teacher training (International House, England) and has a postgraduate degree in marketing and people management from Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV). She has specializations in learning based on the functioning of the brain from the University of California and Duke University, and in cooperative learning from the University of Minnesota and the University of San Diego (United States).
