Dr. Toni Jo Mason was diagnosed with cerebral palsy soon after birth. Her parents, both educators, created an encouraging environment that enabled and supported her belief that she could and would accomplish anything other children could do with time and determination. In 1960, she followed in her parents’ footsteps and earned her B.A. in social studies and English from Western Liberty University, followed by an M.A. in Guidance and Psychology from Marshall University in 1964, and a Specialist Degree in Counselor Education and Psychology from the University of North Carolina in 1972. Dr. Mason taught at the elementary and secondary school levels, developed curricula and career education programs nationwide, worked for the US Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, introduced the US Office of Special Education to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and served as the Coordinator of Diagnostic Services for Leon County, Florida where among her many accomplishments, she led the charge to make all Leon County School System playgrounds handicap accessible and compliant with all ADA requirements. Dr. Mason’s career was committed to ensuring that all people were recognized by their abilities rather than their disabilities. She focused on the need to provide encouragement, equal opportunities, and the support to be able to dream, to learn, and to achieve an individual’s full potential. She believed that the ability to overcome obstacles required an attitude of “stick-to-it-ness” which meant never giving up on dreams, no matter how long or how hard a pathway to achievement might be.
