New safety app available on Cape Cod. Steering you in the right direction, Safety app connects injured to immediate help.

The new, innovative Aiken Safety smartphone app is now available to Cape Cod residents and may be a lifesaver for local families in the event of a car accident. Aiken and Aiken, the sponsoring law group, maintain offices at 83 Main Street, Hyannis, MA and 205 Worcester Court, Falmouth, MA.

Available at the Law Offices of Aiken & Aiken website, www.aikenandaikenpc.com, and other standard portals that apps are found, including the App Store and Google Play, the innovative app is built to discern a major impact auto accident and alert via text your predesignated family and friends. The app also pinpoints the accident site so that your designees can alert emergency personnel and provide critical information.

The app automatically detects when you’ve been in a car accident by using the Integral sensors (accelerometer and GPS) of your smartphone. The app algorithm, designed using actual car crash data from the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA), accurately detects the difference between an actual car crash versus, for example, a dropped phone.

“The safety app and program is our proactive effort to promote better tools and information for Cape Codders and visitors to remain safe and sound,” noted Attorney Paul Aiken.

In addition to the cutting edge app, the safety program and Aiken and Aiken website include an Aiken Safety App video and additional information outlining Driving Safety Rules of the Road and Bike and Pedestrian Safety. The website and app also provide a link to Professional Driving Schools, a leading driving school serving the entire Cape and based in Hyannis.

Decals depicting safe driving, bicyclists and pedestrians are also available and are intended to remind all of us to put safety first. The 1,000 BeSafeRules.com Safety decals will be available in early November for distribution at the law office, Cape Cod Chambers of Commerce, and the Professional Driving School in Hyannis. Other distribution points will be established going forward.

BCI Announces “Halloween Full of Pieces” Autism Friendly Event October 28th

Behavioral Concepts (BCI), a company of behavioral clinicians specializing in the care of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) throughout Central Massachusetts, is proud to sponsor the second annual “Halloween Full of Pieces” autism-friendly Halloween party which will be held on October 28, 2018 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Knights of Columbus, 91 Manville Street, Leicester, MA. This event is open to the public.

Hosted by the Knights of Columbus Council 4528, this special event is a sensory-friendly and safe trick or treating experience for children with ASD. BCI’s Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapists will assist in the event alongside the Knights and staff volunteers.

The event will feature a haunted house, sensory-friendly activities, face painting and more.

There is no cost to attend “Halloween Full of Pieces” party and children may wear costumes if they wish.

“From all the scary decorations, lights and sounds to sensory issues with costume clothing fabric and accessories, Halloween can be an especially tricky time for children and families with autism,” explained Sally Burke, a Licensed Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) at BCI.

Below, Burke offers five tips to help families with autism celebrate Halloween:

1. If you think your child would like to (and can tolerate) wearing a costume, have him/her practice wearing it for short intervals while playing in the days/weeks prior to Halloween.

2. A visual social story or a book that discusses the topic of Halloween and what to expect prior to the event can be extremely helpful. Review it often in the days leading up to Halloween.

3. Practice trick or treating with a family member or neighbor you know well. Whether you and your child gets to one house or quite a few on Halloween, be sure to praise them for a job well done.

4. Plan your trick or treating route. Consider skipping homes with lots of lights, sounds and scary decorations.

5. Remember, staying home and passing out treats may be just as much fun for your child as going out, so don’t rule out the option.
