Marget Wincent

Marget Wincent, the author of "What are your Superpowers?" is a seasoned mom and pediatric occupational therapist (for 35 years). After developing inclusive programs/clubs and providing therapy to children with developmental and learning differences, Ms. Wincent felt that there weren't enough tools in classrooms & neighbor's homes to help children view each other as unique- having their own talents. Children with developmental or learning differences can be misunderstood by their peers. Reading this book with a child or an entire class begins the journey of self-awareness & understanding through the simple task of thoughtful discussion.

From personal experience, raising her oldest son who has Down syndrome, "We felt the painful blows of name calling and exclusion". "We grew through the empowering support of authentic friendship and inclusion." Ms. Wincent's family embraces diversity through the joys and challenges of international adoption (loving and adopting two children from China).

Empowering children by celebrating abilities is the purpose of this book. It is highly personal to Ms. Wincent, to bring her life experiences and insights as a parent, while caring for hundreds of children with developmental needs, to an audience.
