SYA (Say Yes Awareness! Autism) is dedicated to people of all ages on the spectrum. We are a one-stop shop for autism-based media; a channel for people with autism and support system that offers education, entertainment and awareness.
Our Mission
The mission of SYA is to empower people with autism to lead self-directed, healthy and meaningful lives. The goal is to encourage dialogue within the autism community, inspire mainstream interaction and functionality, and advocate for people with autism.
Say Yes Awareness! Autism/SYA is a 501c3 non-profit organization that provides programming specifically for people with autism and the people that support them. SYA works to bridge the gap by educating, informing, and entertaining.
SYA was created by parents of a son with autism because they wanted their son to be able to be successfully function in society independently once they were gone. The name SYA is derived from their son's name, Josiah.
The goal of SYA is to inspire INTERACTION and INDEPENDENCE.

What We Do in The Community
In addition to being a beacon of information and entertainment, we reach out to the community. We embrace ages, from young to small. We try to do that in our autism-based programming, as well as in our community events that we have.
Every year we hold an Annual Drive-thru Gift Giveaway in December. We give away gifts to all ages on the spectrum from youths to adults, their parents/guardians, and siblings. Everyone gets a chance to make their OWN selection of what they want vs. getting what someone else thinks they should have. It is an effort to reach not just the young on the spectrum, but ALL on the spectrum and raise awareness.
