Autism Safety & Wandering


AWAARE - The Autism Wandering Awareness Alerts Response Education Collaboration is a working group of six national non-profit autism organizations whose mission is to prevent autism-related wandering incidents and deaths. 

The Law Enforcement Awareness Network (L.E.A.N) - It is the mission of L.E.A.N. On Us to provide first respondents with information and resources that will allow them to better serve individuals within their communities affected by hidden disabilities and mental illness.

Project Life Saver - The primary mission of Project Lifesaver is to provide timely response to save lives and reduce potential injury for adults and children who wander due to Alzheimer’s, autism, and other related conditions or disorders. The task of searching for wandering or lost individuals with Alzheimer’s, autism, Down syndrome, dementia or other cognitive conditions is a growing and serious responsibility. Without effective procedures and equipment, searches can involve multiple agencies, hundreds of officers, countless man hours and thousands of dollars. More importantly, because time is of the essence, every minute lost increases the risk of a tragic outcome.
