"I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others like me." -Maya Angelou
How we began...
Mission Alpha Advocacy (MAA) was founded by two military spouses and mothers to special needs children.
MAA was established due to a growing movement of military families advocating for applied behavior analysis (ABA) services for beneficiaries of military-affiliated families.
Our passion is to empower not only those exceptional military families within the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) but all families receiving Department of Defense or Veteran Affairs benefits.
Advocating for autism services was only the beginning for Mission Alpha. We have successfully advocated and created legislation to streamline the specialty medical care referrals and to ensure the mental health services offered to military families are in alignment with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
What We Do
We collaborate with legislators, military leadership, other organizations, and industry experts to create legislation and military policies to enhance healthcare benefits and improve the quality of life for families within the Exceptional Military Family Program (EFMP) and other beneficiary related programs.
Mission Alpha is committed to teaching military families advocacy techniques to affect local, state, and federal legislation and to maintain accountability ensuring the enforcement of such legislation.
We also provide opportunities for military-affiliated families to collaborate with each other, legislators and military leadership to improve the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) and beneficiary-related programs.

Where We Are Going....
Our team is committed to our mission and Mission Alpha will become the leading nonprofit advocating on behalf of exceptional military families.
We will develop programs to connect military families to their congressional members and to enhance their quality of life.
