Empowering the Special Needs Community
My name is Doron, founder of AngelSense and the father of Itamar, a 17-year-old teenager with Autism, who is sweet and naive like a little child – an eternal child. The idea for AngelSense came from the deep worry for Itamar, since he is so vulnerable and cannot share what he goes through.
As we prepare for the holidays, parents of children with special needs have their own system for lists, requests and shopping. We’ve got this! And then the inevitable question from a family member or friend – what to buy our child? Friends and family can need a little assistance in making choices, particularly for kids with special needs. As parents we know that the act of playing is an important part of the growth and development of our children.
Designing a GPS tracker for kids may seem an easy endeavor. Make it durable and make it small, and hopefully hard to lose! When the AngelSense team set to create the Guardian GPS Tracking Device, they had more than just a child locator in mind. They were specifically creating a monitoring solution to provide full day visibility into the day of children with special needs – children who might have sensory issues, or potential obsessive behavior.
