Wandering Prevention and Safety Materials Site for Autism

SAFETY MATERIALS

NAA has created two new safety toolkits that can be downloaded here:

Caregiver Toolkit | First Responder Toolkit

There are many precautions that can be taken to prevent wandering, but proper response in an emergency situation is critical. AWAARE has created materials that focus on both. Please click here to find our frequently asked questions. You may also want to review safety and response materials, including:

Autism-wandering prevention brochure
First Responder Alert Form
Family Wandering Emergency Plan (FWEP) Template
Individualized Education Plan (IEP) Sample Letter
Caregiver Check List

The items listed above are included in NAA's Big Red Safety Box, along with the following products that can be purchased online:
GE Door Alarms
Who's Shoe ID

We also recommend using Stop Sign Visual Prompts for doors and windows.  To create your own, perform a Google Image Search to find an image you like. Then right-click on the image and choose "save image to desktop. Print and adhere to windows and doors.  You can purchase pre-printed adhesive stop signs and other safety items at the NAA website.

Giggle Bug Toddler Tracking

Kid Finder......

Cute and if I would have had this when my son was younger.....life would have been easier. He loved to "hide" when he heard sirens outside or loud noises of any kind. Thankfully, he never left the house. But the "hide & seek" time would have been less if this GIGGLE BUG was on him while he was in a closet, under the bed etc. Ya', I'm one of those parents that HATES fireworks!

Bell and Howell Sonic Alarm System

Bell and Howell Sonic Alarm System



The Bell and Howell Sonic Alarm System protects your property with a simple and effective alarm system. It fits easily on entry doors, screen doors, windows and cabinets and makes a loud 90dB warning when tripped. It is easy to turn on and off or set to a pleasant chime sound just by the flip of a switch and it installs quickly without tools. Available at Target, Home Depot, and online (search by name).

AS a parent of a child with Autism, I have Bell & Howell Sonic Alarm attached next to front door, door to garage, and back door!! Then we got one and put it on the back gate for summers. So far our son hasn't been able to open windows...... yeah for us. WE have always kept sharp objects out-of-reach, but recently we installed the Bell & Howell Sonic Alarm on a cabinet for safety.

We had tried a motion sensor that made an UGLY sound, it not only terrified our son, but the neighbors, dogs, cats & the rest of our family. THIS systems is easy and doesn't panic the neighborhood.
