Helping to make your life better every day!
Successful Child Magazine is devoted to informing and empowering parents as to how they can make the best choices for their family. Industry professionals can rely on our award-winning magazine as a resource guide for information that may fall outside their immediate expertise. Parents of special needs children typically get very overwhelmed, exhausted, and swallowed up by red tape, bureaucracy, lack of direction and confusion in desperately trying to unravel government, city and county organizations and programs.
Successful Child will help parents navigate and work "the system" to utilize all the programs and assistance that is available to them. Successful Child explores and explains the significance of caring for children with a full spectrum of special needs. Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, autism, learning disabilities and ADHD are just a few of the afflictions that are addressed in the magazine. With over 12 percent of youths living with a variety of impairing disorders, Successful Child will focus on crucial issues: parental rights, private and public schools, treatments, therapies, medications, legislation, state and local agencies, new developments, services, support and advocacy, all to help the special needs community.
Parents simply want their children to live up to their full potential and as adults, be able to live independent and fully productive lives. We work on behalf of these very extraordinary parents and children and the inspirational lives they lead. We strongly promote the active and informed participation of families with special needs children in shaping, implementing and evaluating public policy that affects them. Our goal is to protect families and advocates who are caretakers by arming them with valuable resources and information that will provide them with a strong foundation of support and dedicated professionals.
Last but not least, we strive to offer parents something that will make all the difference, a glimmer of hope. For parents who are fatigued, exhausted, dejected and who fight endlessly and tirelessly for their kids... For parents who are sleep deprived and beaten down, we say that you are not alone, you can do it and we want you to have hope. With a plan, comes hope and with hope, a plan. Successful Child is here to help you make that important plan and have the tools and resources you need to get the best care available.
