April is World Autism Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect time to show your support and spread awareness about the condition. Whether your child or someone else you know has autism, there are many ways you can celebrate this special month.

We reached out to the AngelSense community for their funny parenting moments, and they were gracious enough to share 11 stories. But it doesn’t have to end here. We’d love to hear your funny special needs parenting moments. All of us could do with a good, heartfelt laugh. After all as the saying goes: laughter is the best medicine!

With the year coming to a close, we asked our customer care team or, as we like to call them, “Our Moms”, what they’re thankful for. Interestingly, all our Moms made it a point to say that they’re thankful for technologies that make their life just a little bit easier and better in some way.

The festive season can be overwhelming for kids with special needs. But it doesn’t have to be. Here are 10 simple but fun activities your entire family will enjoy.

Since this is ADHD Awareness Month, we thought it was time for a fresh perspective on what has become one the most misunderstood and difficult to diagnose disorders. ADHD is more common than you might think and affects children and adults of all ages.

Exciting news! AngelSense has been named winner of the 2016 Patient Innovation Award. The AngelSense GPS Tracker was chosen as a groundbreaking product as it’s designed specifically for children with special needs and features capabilities that address their unique challenges.

Asperger’s Syndrome is one of the most misunderstood development disorders on the autism spectrum, largely because it remains shrouded in stereotypes and prejudices.

Helping your child with Asperger’s Syndrome transition into adulthood can be challenging. There is so much to consider as you prepare your teen for independent living. While you can’t prepare for every eventuality, by helping your child career plan from an early age you can ensure your child has the necessary skills to make a valuable contribution to the workforce
