HOW WE WILL HELP YOU

Bi-Monthly Magazine

SUCCESSFUL CHILD is a unique consumer publication to focus on children with autism, mental illness and learning disabilities. It will serve as an invaluable resource for both parents and industry professionals. The publication is devoted to informing and empowering parents as to how they can make the best choices for their children and family. Industry professionals can rely on SUCCESSFUL CHILD as a resource guide for information that may fall outside their specialty.

SUCCESSFUL CHILD explores the significance of caring for children with a full spectrum of special needs. Autism, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, mental illness, learning disabilities and ADHD are the kind of disabilities that are addressed in the magazine.

SUCCESSFUL CHILD will initially be distributed in the state of New Jersey and the tri-state area. Many people have asked why we are launching in only one state? The answer is simple. To really help parents, we must be specific to the state, township and district. Just one number, one new contact, one fresh lead, can drastically change the lives of families who are in need.

Facility and Youth Center

In addition to the magazine, SUCCESSFUL CHILD plans to build a very special facility for children with disabilities. So often, these children are isolated and even ostracized. Our facility will serve as a youth center with our main goal to help these children develop their social skills, self esteem and sense of self. The center will be a safe haven for kids to have fun, make friends and provide some much needed respite for weary parents.
It is so hurtful to see your child stand alone, watching other children play all-the-while not being included. One friend can make such a difference. Through our Make A Friend Program and facility, we will be in the position to offer parents the opportunity to bring children together to help them make that much needed friend. So many parents take the sight of kids playing in their home for granted, but for parents with special needs children, it is a dream come true. We hope to have your support for this desperately needed program.

Workshops and Events

SUCCESSFUL CHILD will implement a series of community workshops throughout the state. We will bring together the best healthcare professionals, educators and experts to meet with parents in an informative and uplifting setting. With affiliations with hospitals, the education community and the private sector, we hope to tie all the loose ends together to present all the available options and alternatives for parents seeking the best care for their children.
