MONITORING DEVICES
Monitoring devices can put a caretaker’s mind at each by helping individuals affected with Autism and other developmental disabilities who may wander or get lost. These devices use state-of-the-art technology, employing wristband transmitters to locate wandering and lost children and adults. Criteria for children and adults who can benefit from these programs may include those who:
- Have a diagnosis of Autism or other developmental disorder;
- Have a history of wandering or be at-risk of wandering;
- Live in the community with a primary caregiver who provides daily, ongoing care;
- Reside in a geographical location covered by the monitoring devices.
