WELLalarm™ in Action for Children with Autism

  • Nine-year-old Anthony, who is diagnosed with autism, is at the zoo for the day with his mom and dad. While they’re not looking, he gets distracted and wanders off by himself. 

  • While his worried parents search for him, a friendly zoo employee sees Anthony’s WELLtag™ (Medical alert ID bracelet linked to the WELLalarm™He calls the parents right away after receiving their info from the WELLalarm™ emergency alert system. 

  • After receiving the call, Anthony’s parents arrange to meet him at the zoo’s information desk, and the family is happily reunited! Emergency System) He calls the toll-free number on the back and accesses Anthony’s emergency contact information

If your autistic child has ever gotten lost or separated at the mall, amusement park or in a large crowd, WELLalarm™ is the solution for your family.

The Autism Society of America and The National Autism Association recommend that your autistic child wear a dog tag with their name and your phone number at all times. Many times, children with Autism Spectrum Disorders do not understand the importance of staying close to their parents. It is essential for your child to have identification with them in case they get lost and are unable to communicate.

WELLalarm™ takes this concept to the next level: WELLcharms™ and WELLtags™ are "smart jewelry" that your autistic children can wear to identify themselves in case they get lost, wander off or have an accident. WELLcharms™ and WELLtags™ can also be used to identify any allergies or medical conditions that they have. WELLalarm™ gives bystanders and first responders easy, 24/7 access to your autistic child’s medical information and emergency contact info. This insures that you can be contacted immediately and medical care can be administered quickly in an emergency.

You can also use WELLalarm™ tags for your child’s backpack, stickers for their cell phone or our clothing labels! Just as you would iron on labels for your kids’ clothes when they go to camp or school – now you can use our WELLalarm™ clothing labels, including your child’s name and access to their vital info in case of an emergency.

Your kids will love this whimsical jewelry, and you will enjoy the peace of mind from knowing that you have taken proactive steps to keep your child safe.

Additional uses of WELLalarm™ include:
  • Notifying parents or a caregiver automatically if your child’s account is accessed in a potential emergency situation.
  • Downloading, printing or faxing your child’s immunization records from your WELLalarm™ account for school and camp forms online or from your smartphone!
  • A reminder service that notifies parents and kids by email or text message with appointment and medication reminders.

Your kids can choose from various products in the WELLalarm™ line, including WELLcharms™, WELLtags™, a wallet ID card, key chain, sticker for their cell phone, iron-on clothing labels and more.
According to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, a child goes missing every 40 seconds in the U.S. With WELLalarm™, you can store fingerprints and a photo for child identification. And when your child wears a WELLalarm™. product you can be reached if they are lost or separated.
