It’s Autism Awareness Month and one of the biggest concerns that Autism parents face is wandering. Children with Autism have a tendency to wander away from a position of safety, only to find themselves in danger. Unfortunately, these situations don’t always end well and we know that the faster the intervention, the more likely we are to have a positive outcome. Having a child safely recovered is what matters most.

Did you know that there is a foundation out there that wants to provide you with free Home Automation and Security technology to help prevent your child from wandering in the first place?

To that end, I was to share a partnership I have built with an amazing company called Vivint Home. They have a charity division called Vivint Gives Back and I work with them directly, to help the Autism community connect with the services they offer.  

The Vivint Gives Back Foundation works very hard to provide special needs families with the home automation and security equipment needed to help parents keep their child safe.

Vivint Gives Back donates the equipment to families who qualify. Monitoring service is required for systems like this and rather than pay full price, Vivint charges special needs families based on their income. The cost range from $15 – $44 per month, again based on your income.

To put this all into perspective, I insisted on going through the exact same process that anyone else would. I will never endorse anyone or anything without extensive, first-hand knowledge of who or what I was endorsing.

Vivint Gives Back tailors Vivint Smart Home systems to meet each family’s unique needs at a price they can afford.

The process was very simple and you can get started by visiting www.vivintgivesback.org. Based on my family’s income, we qualified for a monthly service fee of only $15.00 per month. This $15.00 covers 24/7/365 home monitoring and peace of mind.

Below is a short video explaining how my family utilizes Smart Home tech to keep our kids safe.

As part of the Vivint Gives Back Foundation’s continuing efforts to help keep kids with Autism safe, and provide peace of mind to their parents, they are doing something special in honor of Autism Awareness Month. If you visit www.vivintgivesback.org and apply for this program, you will get two additional sensors, above and beyond the standard package.

You can always purchase additional equipment at any time, but for the month of April, you will get two additional sensors for free.

In closing, I want each and every one of you to know that I absolutely support this program. My family utilizes this program and its technology. We live in a bad neighborhood and this program has helped us not only keep our kids safer by making it much easier to monitor them, but we also feel much safer in our own home. That’s peace of mind we’ve never had before.

I get nothing if you sign up for this program, aside from the personal satisfaction of knowing I’ve helped improve someone’s life.
If you’ve followed me over the years, you know I’m a straight shooter, honest and want only to make a positive impact on the Autism community. My reputation aside for a minute, parent to parent, please look into this. This program is legitimate and I stand by it 100%. I would recommend Vivint Gives Back to anyone in need of assistance in regards to keeping their wandering child safe.

With Vivint Gives Back, I’m able to keep the good guys in while ensuring the bad ones stay out.
