@VivintHome is giving away 4 free SmartHome systems in honor of #Autism Awareness month

I wanted to take a second and share something really amazing that my good friends at Vivint Home are doing in honor of Autism Awareness month. They're giving away four (4) free SmartHome systems in the month of April. (see below for details) I've spoken about this countless times before. There is no way to completely eliminate the risk of a child with Autism from wandering or escaping the house. This is a widely accepted fact that keeps many of us up at night, there are things you can do to limit the risk of your child getting out of the house and wandering away.

Getting ready for our appointment with @VivintHome

Tomorrow, we'll be seeing the return of Vivint to our home. We're having a new camera added to the back of our house and a new alarm panel installed. When they're done with that, they're going to do a once over and make sure everything is up to snuff. In order to get ready for this appointment, we need to make sure that the Vivint tech has clean access to all of the Vivint devices in our home. The boys and I are going to spend the evening straightening up the house to make sure we're ready for them to come. This is actually the best way to get our house caught up.. Lol On a side note, please remember that you can take advantage of the Vivint Gives Back…

How to get the technology needed to help keep your wandering kids with #Autism safe

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…
