💡 We're excited to share the first installment in our new tech tips series! Each month we'll be highlighting a product in Northeast Arc's Assistive Technology Lending Library and explaining how it can be used to promote independence for people with disabilities. This month's product is the Fitbit Inspire.

Fitness trackers, like The Fitbit Inspire, are more than just a fitness tracker—they are devices that can help an individual stay organized, healthy, and connected. When paired with a smartphone, this device delivers reminders, calendar alerts, and communication notifications directly to the wrist. This is an easy way to assist individuals manage daily routines and appointments without relying on verbal prompts or paper schedules.

Beyond organization, fitness trackers record activity, heart rate, and sleep patterns. These features can encourage healthy habits and provide data that supports personalized care plans. Whether it’s meeting fitness goals, remembering medication times, or staying organized, Fitbit Inspire can support independence and confidence in everyone.

Thank you to the Reading Massachusetts Police Department for attending the recent Community Resource Fair hosted by Northeast Arc's Adult Autism Support Center. In addition to bringing their adorable therapy dog, Rusty, the Reading police officers spoke about the Safe Watch Program, a voluntary, community-based initiative designed to assist residents who may be at risk of wandering . The Safe Watch Program allows family members and caregivers to provide important information about their loved ones to the Reading Police Department before an emergency occurs. This information helps officers respond quickly and effectively if a registered individual goes missing or is found wandering.
