The Safeguarding Neurodivergent Youth across Systems (SNYS) Act
Status: Active | Major Legislative Milestone Achieved (June 2026)
The Focus: Bridging the massive gap between current constitutional jurisprudence and human rights by restructuring law enforcement intervention protocols for neurodivergent youth.
Key Objective: Pass the Protecting Exceptional Children from Unjust Arrests Act, legally mandating that state and local law enforcement transition control of active crises to mobile behavioral health crisis teams in lieu of criminal arrest or physical detention.
The Focus: A comprehensive, multi-sector federal omnibus framework engineered to eliminate systemic abuse, corporal punishment, and exploitation across schools, clinics, residential care facilities, and the foster care network.
Key Objective: Modernize institutional safety standards across all federally funded childcare infrastructures, shifting the national standard from forced compliance to trauma-informed, autonomy-preserving care.
The Focus: leading a targeted, data-driven initiative to reform systemic healthcare access gaps facing military dependents diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Driven by our comprehensive policy research and cost-analysis models, this project focuses on restoring clinical integrity to the TRICARE network and protecting military families from arbitrary coverage limitations.
Following high-level briefings and a rigorous advocacy campaign coordinated by MFAG with key congressional offices, our core policy recommendations have been successfully integrated directly into the foundational baseline text of the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) under Military Personnel (MLP) Subcommittee Mark, Section 746. Moving a policy priority from an outside recommendation to baseline statutory text represents a massive structural victory, ensuring our objectives have maximum legislative weight as the defense bill moves toward final passage. Our ongoing work focuses on defending and auditing this critical statutory provision, which holds the Defense Health Agency (DHA) directly accountable to Congress.
