Enhance personal safety, encourage routine independence, and maintain direct, secure contact with the Garmin Bounce 2 Kids LTE Smartwatch. Classified as Low Cost Assistive Technology, this adaptive wearable is specifically designed to support NDIS participants—including children and youth living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, intellectual disabilities, anxiety, or communication delays—who require location safety monitoring and controlled messaging without the sensory or digital distractions of a standard smartphone.
For parents and carers of neurodivergent children, community access can introduce significant worries regarding wandering, spatial disorientation, or sudden social overwhelm. The Garmin Bounce 2 addresses these challenges by integrating real-time GPS tracking and parent-defined geofencing alerts (safe zones) through the Garmin Jr. app. If a child wanders outside a designated boundary, carers receive an immediate notification. Featuring an active LTE subscription capability, the smartwatch supports two-way voice calling, text messaging, and voice messaging exclusively with parent-approved contacts. The vibrant 1.2-inch AMOLED display, combined with an Emergency Assistance trigger and a durable 5 ATM swim-friendly casing, ensures the wearer remains safe, connected, and supported throughout their daily routines.
