Super Heroes Do Exist!: How a Physician Came to Believe in Teachers who are True Super Heroes. My experiences at the International Conference of the ... Association of America in San Antonio Texas.

Praise for Super Heroes Do Exist! "A quick and powerful read.” Alexandre Tavares' book clarifies the central importance of empowering children and parents in the education field. Tavares' essay entitled "Empathy Heroes League" is his diary of experiences in which he richly describes his epiphanies while attending the 50th annual meeting of the Learning Disorders Association. His epiphanies provide insight on strategies for coping with Learning Disorders. Many of these strategies are built around Tavares' strength-based approach to problem-solving and his empathy for a child's experiences. This approach is perhaps what I found most enlightening and the concept that sets this book apart from the many others related to Learning Disabilities. Jonathan Jones Director Emeritus, SOAR, Inc. Member, Board of Directors, Learning Disabilities of America In "Super Heroes Do Exist!", Dr. Alexandre Tavares honours, as "Super Heroes," the compassionate professionals and educators who led the 50th Learning Disorders Association conference he attended. In his book he emphasizes the importance of empathy and understanding in helping to overcome learning difficulties. "Super Heroes Do Exist!" is full of links and supports for those who work, live, and teach with the many bright children who struggle at school. Whether you are parenting, honing your teaching skills, or just getting started as an educator, this book would make an excellent resource for learning how to provide for those with learning disorders. I highly recommend "Super Heroes Do Exist!" Chris Brown, PhD, CCC Faculty of Education Brandon University - Canada
