Autism: With a GPS watch, Sam’s parents can feel at ease<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Sam’s parents main concern were that Sam, who is autistic and has epilepsy, would abscond from his home or parents whenever he felt overwhelmed, anxious or upset. They were increasingly worried whenever he disappeared in case he had a seizure and his lack of awareness of danger. With a GPS watch they can now track his movements if he would run off.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Conwy Borough Council<\/a> had considered and tried other GPS devices,  however Sam often forgot to take his mobile phone when he left the house, so they weren\u2019t appropriate. When his mum mentioned he was obsessed with watches and his ordinary watch had just broken, Conwy were able to introduce the Careium GPS watch<\/a> easily and smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Careium GPS Watch has helped<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sam loved the watch, and with the alarm button he could easily call his parents when he got worried or upset. When the family was on vacation in the French Alps, Sam suddenly ran away from his parents as soon as they reached the top of the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sam’s mother searched everywhere for an hour and then alerted mountain rescue because the terrain was dangerous and it was very hot outside. She quickly logged on to her phone and was able to track his position from there, thanks to the GPS watch Sam was wearing. With the help of the mountain rescue team, they were soon able to find him sitting by a reservoir, halfway down the mountainside. Sam’s mother is incredibly grateful that he was wearing the watch, and the mountain rescue team was really impressed with it. He went missing several times during the family’s six-week vacation in France, and his parents were able to find him quickly each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They say that the watch is priceless to them and that all sorts of terrible things could have happened if Sam hadn’t been wearing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
