Losing an Android device can be especially stressful for autism families. Here's how to quickly secure it using Google's free tools:

1. **Find Hub** (google.com/android/find) lets you:
- Play a sound (helpful if misplaced nearby)
- Remotely lock with a custom message (like "Reward if found - call [your number]"
- Erase data if unrecoverable (protects sensitive info)

2. **Pre-setup is key**: Ensure "Find My Device" is enabled in Settings > Security before the device goes missing. For non-verbal users, consider adding emergency contact info to the lock screen.

For added safety, Autism Speaks recommends practicing phone location drills to build confidence with these tools (autismspeaks.org/using-your-cell-phone).
