Medical ID Program

Medical ID bracelets play a critical role in ensuring the safety of individuals with Autism, especially in emergency situations. These bracelets serve as a vital communication tool, enabling nonspeaking individuals to convey important information to first responders when needed. Through our safety programming, we are dedicated to empowering individuals to effectively communicate in such situations.

This program offers medical ID bracelets specifically designed for individuals with Autism who are at risk of wandering and have limited verbal communication or are nonspeaking. The Autism Society of Massachusetts provides families with a gift card to purchase a medical ID. By offering a gift card, families have the flexibility to customize the engraving and select the ideal bracelet for their child, taking into consideration their unique needs, including sensory preferences. Additionally, the program includes a social story and practical tips to help parents teach their child to wear the bracelet comfortably and consistently.

Application

To be considered for the program, please complete the application form in its entirety (link below). Gift cards are limited and will be distributed through a lottery system. Each gift card is valid for the purchase of a medical ID bracelet from American Medical ID. If you choose a bracelet that exceeds the value of the gift card, you will be responsible for covering the additional cost. Please note, you must be a resident of the state of Massachusetts. Thank you for your interest in this program.
