Welcome to Success Without Boundaries

Founded in 2008 as a non-profit corporation, Success Without Boundaries, Inc. believes that through a philanthropic investment in research, education and outreach activities, we are contributing to the achievement of this and future generations of America’s most precious resource, our children. 

The Growing Global Crisis of Conditions Affecting Child Development:    There have been epidemic increases in the last 20 years of a number of conditions related to child development.  Experts agree, for example, that at least 7.5% of our children have the symptoms of an attention disorder such as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).  They further agree that at least 1 in 150 children have an autism spectrum disorder.  Moreover, anxiety, obsessive/compulsive behaviors, adjustment and sensory disorders as well as speech and language delays, learning disabilities and other communication challenges are increasingly prevalent in our society and directly affect development.  Many families are struggling to meet the needs of their affected children.

It is estimated that as many as two-thirds of children with behavioral or developmental conditions are not getting the help they need.  Treatment for all behavioral and developmental conditions is multi-factorial, expensive, and essential.  There are tremendous financial and emotional tolls.  Even with insurance or Medicaid coverage, there are remarkable out-of-pocket costs associated with these conditions.  Many of the most effective and important therapeutic interventions are not covered by insurance, in part because of a lack of translational research.  Household stress levels are raised and marriages and family structure are often strained.  Family challenges do not end when a child reaches adulthood.  At times the most challenging issues for families take place at the transition to adulthood and into the job market.
