The new clothing line features articles with a concealed pocket that holds a dominoe-sized GPS tracking device to help prevent wandering.

TWIN FALLS, IDAHO, USA, July 16, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- About 50% of kids with Autism wander: the act of leaving a safe environment by themselves. Many cases of wandering end in tragedy. Kids who wander face exposure, injury, and many are attracted to water which leads to drowning. Idaho activist and Director of the non-profit organization Autism Life Support, Inc. hopes to help eliminate wandering by offering a new line of sensory friendly clothing with optional GPS tracking.

"We were developing a solution ourselves when we came across an article for Independence Day Clothing and realized the solution already existed." Stated Jason Bobango founder of Autism Life Support, Inc. "I immediately contacted the owner and told her I wanted to bring the clothing line to Idaho." Added Bobango.

Available for sale at 911idaho.com,the company's consumer safety website, the clothing is sensory friendly for kids who are sensitive to touch. It has no tags, no buttons, no zippers, and can be worn backwards, forwards, or inside out due to its universal design. "This not only makes the kids comfortable, it makes it easier for them to dress themselves." Commented Bobango.

Most importantly, most of the articles have a concealed compartment sewn into them that holds a GPS tracking device about the size of a dominoe. This devices allows caregivers to set a perimeter around their home, the child's school, or grandma's house. If the child leaves that perimeter, the caregiver can be notified via text message. Additionally, if the child does happen to wander, the unit is trackable via satellite and cellular GPS systems.

"I know this product will save lives. That is why we had to bring it to Idaho." Exclaimed Bobango.

Proceeds from the sales of the clothing will go towards the company's special needs related emergency response training program. A free training program for EMTs, paramedics, and law enforcement officers about responding to emergency situations involving kids who have special needs such as Autism, Down Syndrome, and Spina Bifida. "The great thing about the product line is we will be able to help prevent wandering and train responders to respond to a wandering situation with proceeds from the sales. It's a combination punch, so to speak." Explained Bobango.
