Autism Therapy | If I Need Help

Navigating autism therapy is a journey that’s as unique as every individual on the spectrum. Whether a child is in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), occupational therapy, speech therapy, or a combination, maintaining consistency and safety across environments is essential. At If I Need Help, we complement your child’s therapy plan with tools designed for real-life situations—especially when routines break, meltdowns occur, or unexpected emergencies arise.

Why Safety and Therapy Go Hand-in-Hand
Children in autism therapy often rely on predictability, repetition, and consistent communication methods. But during outings, travel, or transitions between care providers, those therapy routines and communication preferences may be misunderstood or unknown to others.
If I Need Help’s personalized wearable ID system solves this gap. Each item includes a QR code (and optional printed text) that links to a private, caregiver-controlled profile—containing real-time information like:
1) Therapy type(s): OT, Speech, etc.
2) Sensory preferences and calming techniques
3) Known triggers or behaviors
4) Emergency contacts and medical alerts
These can be worn as shoe tags, bracelets, shirts, or sewn into backpacks—keeping critical therapy-related context accessible to caregivers and first responders.
Our QR code system
Which can be worn on personal items, gives immediate access to essential information about the individual's therapy needs and preferences. This may include details about communication style, therapy routines, sensory sensitivities, and more. By scanning the QR code with a smartphone, anyone can quickly understand the specific needs of the person with autism and respond appropriately.
These QR codes
Become invaluable tools for those engaged in Autism Therapy, providing key insights that can assist in calming an individual, communicating with them, and even informing medical personnel or first responders in an emergency.
