A social worker needs effective strategies and tools to manage high-functioning students with elopement behaviors who run toward dangerous areas, while the student's threats and difficult parents exacerbate the challenge.

Workarounds Described

• Relies on one-to-one aide, which fails when aide calls out
• No software tracking; manual observation and intervention

Implied Software Gaps

• Real-time location tracking and alerts when student leaves perimeter
• Automated incident logging and behavior pattern analysis
• Coverage management to ensure aide absence is covered

SafePath Behavioral Safety System

A mobile and web app that helps school staff track, predict, and respond to elopement behaviors in real-time. It provides real-time location alerts when a student leaves a designated safe zone, logs behavioral incidents, and generates data-driven insights to improve Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs). It also facilitates communication with parents and ensures staff coverage even when aides are absent.
