Michael A. Boylan

Michael A. Boylan is the best-selling author of four books; three business books, with his fourth book perhaps most impactful to date, as it is about how his life changed radically upon the birth of his special-needs son. Written for the millions of parents and families of special-needs children in the U.S. and around the world, it is a genuine, heartfelt, beautiful story by a single father and caregiver about the life lessons he has been taught by his cognitively challenged son––and how they can positively impact your life and your work. It is a touching true story, which also offers caregivers a step-by-step process they can use to gain more peace, perspective, and a process to manage the hills-and-valleys of caring for a special-needs child or children. The book is being compared to The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and The Purpose Driven Life because of the genuine insight, discussion questions, and process that can help caregivers cope and make it through along their caregiver journey.

Michael is a nationally recognized keynote speaker and developer of productivity enhancing programs used by numerous Fortune 500 corporations nationwide and internationally. Because of his experience as a single father of a special-needs child, he has founded The Reach For Me Network with the goal of becoming the first social network to serve the estimated 35 million parents and families of special-needs children of any diagnosis (cognitive and/or physical) yet to be aggregated into one powerful community of respect, support, recognition and information sharing.
