Lost and Found Technology For Families With Kids Who Have Autism 

 Care Trak tracking system is stress relief for parents of kids with Autism 

 (Murphysboro, Illinois.  Each year thousands of child victims of Autism “bolt and run” leaving parents panicked and frantic. Sometimes children with Autism don’t go very far, but still end up in dangerous circumstances. Search and rescue by family and law enforcement becomes an urgent matter. There is help for special needs kids and their parents: Care Trak.  

 Care Trak is a telemetry-based tracking receiver that electronically tracks lost persons who are wearing the one-ounce transmitter. Care Trak is available only to special need kids and their parents; professional models are available to law enforcement officials. 

 “Care Trak focuses on serving these parents and caregivers of kids with Autism, families of those who have a tendency or pattern of wandering, and law enforcement agencies,” said Mike Chylewski, Care Trak’s Vice President of Operations. “Because kids with Autism have limited or no fear of danger, and have a high tolerance for pain, parents are understandably frantic to find their child. Care Trak is a source of action and calm in what is otherwise a frightening and urgent situation. 
 Most kids with Autism are highly intelligent, physically active, observant and inquisitive. The phrase, “My kid’s a Houdini” is common among parents of kids with Autism because their children find ingenious ways out of locked rooms, making their “bolt and run” behaviors a primary parental concern. 
 The user-friendly Care Trak home tracking equipment can locate a child with Autism up to one mile on the ground, day or night, inside or outside. It is mobile, so as soon as a parent realizes her child has bolted, she can take the receiver and go track him immediately. Care Trak is a telemetry-based tracking system, so obstacles or overhead cover, such as clouds, don’t hinder it like GPS-based systems.  Care Trak Home Systems are only available to parents of special needs children and not available to the general public.
