Locative Tech & Equipment
Connecting First Responders and Families
We believe in the importance of providing families with the necessary resources to keep their loved ones safe. That's why we offer funding and support for locative technology and equipment. Our focus is on helping those who may be prone to wandering and providing access to GPS and locative tech equipment to families in need. This ensures that first responders have the tools they need to quickly and safely locate and return people with autism who may wander or become lost.
SafetyNet Tracking Bracelets
Through our partnership with SafetyNet Tracking, we are able to provide tracking bracelets to caregivers of people with autism with underlying conditions with a history of wandering who could not otherwise afford them. Additionally, this ensures access to a 24/7 emergency call center and secure database of client information for law enforcement use in emergency situations.
SafetyNet enables public safety agencies to more quickly find and rescue individuals with cognitive conditions who are prone to wandering and becoming lost. The service is comprised of a SafetyNet watch worn by a client that emits radio frequency signals, which can be tracked by local public safety officials via their SafetyNet Search and Rescue Receivers.
Seat Belt Covers and More Safety Resources
Seat belt covers are just one way that first responders can indicate that the person may respond differently in a high stress situation. The Flutie Foundation distributes over 5,000 seat belt covers, Safety Stickers and Zippers Pulls to identify persons with autism. First responders distribute these resources to their local communities as a free resource to ensure safety, understanding and acceptance.
If you are in need of a seat belt cover or other resources, contact your local police department, or contact us today!
