LIMITLESS PATHWAYS
A parent-led 501(c)(3) pending organization dedicated to raising awareness, supporting families, and driving research forward.
Our Mission
My name is Dr. Dina Friedman. I am a clinical psychologist supporting families of special needs individuals, the Director of an independent living skills program for neurodiverse young adults, an advocate for differently abled individuals and their families, and the mother of a child with CAMK2. My daughter, Sienna, is a beautiful 19-year-old young woman who has touched the lives of almost everyone who has had the privilege of getting to know her.
I am here today not only as Sienna’s mother, but also as a voice for all CAMK2 families. Our children’s stories carry shared themes—misdiagnosis, struggle, resilience, and the desperate search for effective treatments. I make this request before you to advocate on behalf of my daughter and every CAMK2 child and family, so that their voices are heard, their suffering acknowledged, and their hope for timely treatment is met with urgent action.

Our Why
What is CAMK2?
CAMK2 is a rare genetic condition, with about 300 diagnosed patients worldwide, though the true number is likely higher due to under-testing and misdiagnosis. CAMK2 mutations cause dysregulation of calcium signaling, leading to physical, developmental, and behavioral symptoms.
While there are no current targeted treatments, scientists and physicians are optimistic—some predict targeted therapies could be available within three years. A landmark study in Rotterdam demonstrated complete reversal of symptoms in mice, offering real hope for translational therapies.
CAMK2 is typically a single gene mutation and is usually not inherited, which opens the door for precision genetic or molecular treatments. Progress in CAMK2 research will likely benefit related disorders such as GRIN and SYNGAP.
