I'm sure it's quite expensive and I will go back on my original statement and say that "most" probably don't have access to it. But it seemed like a really neat idea, just in case the children started wandering.

oh i see what you mean. i saw that episode too. a child with autism is a whole different story than what i thought you meant by a child with disabilities.
we have IPC at my school (a special program for children with autism). each child has a personal one on one aide who stays with the kid the whole day. those kids can't go anywhere without the aide present. i don't think they'd really need id tags, but i can definitely see how other kids could.
