Navigate Life Texas: Resources for kids with disabilities and special needs
Project Lifesaver is a program for individuals with cognitive disabilities such as autism, dementia, Alzheimer's, or traumatic brain injury who have a history of wandering from home.
The Project Lifesaver bracelet is much more than a passive ID bracelet. It is a battery operated radio wrist transmitter emitting an automatic tracking signal every second, 24 hours a day. The signal is tracked on the ground up to 1 mile and in the air up to 10 miles. As each bracelet has a unique radio frequency, the Project Lifesaver search team positively locates and identifies the person who has wandered away from home or a care facility.
A personalized state-of-the-art battery powered transmitter is used that emits a constant radio signal 24 hours a day. The radio transmitter is the size of a wrist watch and provides a constant radio signal. Once the sheriff’s office is notified that a person is missing, deputies identify the signal from a specialized directional antenna and are able to track the wandering person.
