Upstate NY Autism Awareness (UNYAA) is a not-for-profit organization formed by 3 local mothers of children with Autism.

Our mission is to make a real difference in the lives of children affected with Autism and other developmental disabilities by providing assistance, resources and education to families in our community.

Our goal is to raise awareness for the disorder and provide parents with the knowledge to help our children succeed in every way possible.               

A 2007 report from the Center for Disease Control found that 1 in 150 children in America today have an autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

The Autism Society of America estimates that 1.5 million Americans and their families are now affected.
