Families with autistic children are finding that a small transmitter can often be a lifesaver — technology first adopted for adults with dementia or Alzheimer’s.

The Greater Roanoke Valley Autism Action Group and Roanoke Police are presenting a Project Lifesaver and Autism Awareness Extravaganza Saturday. Click here for full event information (pdf)
