Project Lifesaver is a rapid response program that locates people who wander away from their caregivers due to brain disorders like Alzheimer's Disease, Autism, Down Syndrome, and dementia. 

How it works: 

Clients enrolled in the program wear a bracelet that contains a battery-operated transmitter which emits a tracking signal. If the client wanders away, the caregiver would notify NBPD and a search team would be deployed. That search includes the use of a mobile receiver that can pick up the signal from the client's transmitter.

Application Requirements: 

• Must live in the New Braunfels city limits.
• Must have a clinically diagnosed brain disorder.
• Must have a 24/7 caregiver.
• Must be able to wear the bracelet at all times.

Please remember that there are a limited number of bracelets available. Those who qualify will be placed on a waiting list until additional bracelets become available. Or you can purchase a bracelet at your own cost and then register that device with NBPD. 

Click here to fill out an submit your application online. 

The program is free but is limited to the number of transmitters available.  Citizens can also purchase their transmitters directly from Project Lifesaver and then register those devices with NBPD. The transmitters provided by NBPD are the property of the Police Department and must be returned. There will be a $300 charge for transmitters that are lost, damaged, or not returned.

Our Care Model The MAC’s innovative approach provides comprehensive and coordinated medical and non-medical services under one roof. The MAC seeks to help individuals with disabilities and special needs of all ages find the assistance they need to improve their health and well-being.

MAC Navigation: The MAC’s services use a family-centered approach with full collaboration from the family, MAC Member, and community partners known as MACers (pronounced “MACK-ers”). Click here to learn more.

Ultra-Accessible™ means that everyone has the same opportunity to be included and participate intentionally in their community. An Ultra-Accessible™ community should provide environments for people of all abilities where they are set up for mobility, access, and success.

The MAC Navigators The MAC Care Model™ is centered around addressing Non-Medical Drivers of Health (NMDOH) through team members known as MAC Navigators that serve as single points of contact for the individuals with disabilities and special needs that The MAC serves. Click here for the Navigation Road Map.

Pre-screening on The MAC website or in person determines eligibility to become a MAC member.

(For purposes of The MAC at Morgan’s Wonderland™, people with a “special need” are defined as individuals of all ages with long-term impairment of cognitive, sensory, motor and/or communication functions, either congenital or acquired, that are not readily rehabilitated. Furthermore, a special need substantially limits an individual’s ability to perform activities in the range of what is considered typical for a person of the same age and cultural context. A special need may result in associated social, behavioral, or mental health complexities, requiring specialized intervention by a professional. Populations served by the MAC are the range of conditions that are classified as intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as acquired or congenital physical disabilities.)

The MAC serves individuals of all ages.

There are no income requirements to receive Navigation services.

Our MAC Members are members as long as they continue receiving services at The MAC.

Each of our MACers (community partners) accepts specific forms of insurance. MAC Navigators are able to connect MAC Members with the correct partner.

Removing Barriers to Independence

Assistive Technology (AT) consists of both devices and services. An AT device is any item, piece of equipment, software program, or product system that is used to maintain or improve the functional capabilities of persons with disabilities. Assistive technology helps people who have difficulty speaking, typing, writing, remembering, pointing, seeing, hearing, learning, walking, and many other things. Different disabilities require different assistive technology devices. AT can be:

• No tech – objects such as pencil grips, magnifiers, canes, braille;
• Low tech – closed caption TV, word processors, calculators, alternative keyboards;
• High Tech – hearing aids, augmentative communication devices, electric wheelchairs.

Assistive Technology services assist persons with disabilities in the selection, acquisition, and use of AT devices. AT services consist of:

• An evaluation of the individual’s s need, including a functional evaluation in the individual’s customary environments;
• The trialing, purchasing, or leasing of an assistive technology device
• The selection, design, fitting, adapting, and repairing, of an assistive technology device
• The needed training or technical assistance for the AT user, family members/caregivers, educators, and service providers. 
• Our therapists and educators are well-versed in locating funding sources for AT devices. They have established relationships with AT vendors and assist individuals needing AT in the acquisition of the recommended devices.

In the Arc's Adult Life Enrichment Program, we build upon the education that our participants received while in the school system by providing community and site-based programming at two facilities.

Our domain-based curriculum focuses on strengthening life skills within an environment conducive to growth and socialization. Many things set The Arc apart as a premier provider of direct-care services, some of which include: Full-Time Nursing staff, which allows us to care for individuals needing more physical assistance and to provide an educational focus on healthy lifestyle choices, a fleet of accessible vehicles, which help facilitate community-based programming, and a Volunteer Involvement Program, which allows our participants to serve the community through partnerships with Meals on Wheels, The San Antonio Food Bank, local animal shelters, and more!

Behavioral Supports: The Arc provides behavioral support services for our Life Enrichment Program participants on an individual basis and works with individual Arc participants to address and modify behaviors that may be problematic for the participant and their families.

The overall goal of behavior support is to improve the quality of life for the individual. Behavior supports will utilize the application of applied behavior analysis and target socially significant behaviors. Those targets are identified as a result of a thorough assessment (i.e. skill or behavioral) and could address areas such as:

• Functional communication (i.e. development and utilization of a communication system);
• Social Skills (i.e. initiating and reciprocating greetings, sharing/turn-taking with others, accepting no, waiting);
• Daily Living Skills (i.e. wiping tables, identifying the value of currency, washing dishes, preparing a meal);
• Behavior enhancement procedures (i.e. increasing compliance, increasing participation in activities)
• Behavior reduction procedures (i.e. decreasing incidents of aggression, classroom disruptions, verbal outbursts).
• All behavioral interventions are individualized and aim to increase functional living skills.
