At All My Friends, our mission is to protect and empower individuals in the IDD (Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities) community. That’s why we’re proud to introduce CareTag bracelets, a simple but powerful way to ensure safety, comfort, and connection in moments of uncertainty.

CareTags are durable, comfortable wristbands engraved with critical information that can help first responders, hospital staff, or kind strangers take quick, appropriate action if a child or individual with IDD gets lost, confused, or scared.
​

When a child with IDD is separated from their caregiver, every second counts. Loud noises, unfamiliar people, or changes in routine can lead to sensory overload, panic, or shutdowns. These bracelets give first responders and good samaritans clear, immediate access to important information like the child’s name, diagnosis, emergency contacts, and home address.
​

This means:

• No guessing or confusion
• Faster reunification with loved ones
• A quicker return to a familiar, calming space
• More informed and compassionate care in the moment

​

Children with autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental differences often rely on routine, familiarity, and trusted caregivers to feel secure. A CareTag bracelet helps bridge the gap during a moment of crisis—giving helpers the tools to de-escalate the situation and reassure the child with accurate, sensitive information.

It’s not just about safety it’s about emotional stability, dignity, and peace of mind.
​

Each bracelet can be engraved with:

• Name of the child or adult
• Address
• Emergency contact numbers (e.g., parents or caregivers)
• Diagnosis or medical notes (e.g., autism, epilepsy, nonverbal, etc.)

​
This information gives responders everything they need to provide support and reunite your loved one with family, fast!

We currently offer red, blue, green, and black CareTag bracelets so each person can pick the color they like best.
​

There is no cost to receive a CareTag. Just fill out the ID form, and we’ll send a bracelet directly to a child or family in need, because peace of mind should never come with a price tag.

💛 Refuse to Lose. Join the Movement.
At All My Friends, we believe every person deserves to feel safe and seen, especially our most vulnerable. With CareTag bracelets, we refuse to lose anyone in our community to fear or confusion. Let’s look out for one another.

​Get ready! One of the most fun and feel-good fundraisers of the year is floating your way – and you’re invited to be part of it! 

All My Friends is hosting their annual Duck Derby Fundraiser – and it’s just as exciting as it sounds!

The Duck Derby is a unique and entertaining fundraising event where thousands of rubber ducks are released into the river in Cedarburg. Each duck is numbered and “adopted” by supporters. Once they’re all in the water, they race to the finish line—and the first ducks to cross win prizes!

It’s fun, it’s fast-paced, and it brings the whole community together for a day of laughter, cheering, and doing good.
​

• 🐥 1 Duck – $5
• 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 5 Ducks – $20
• 🦆💛 Quack Pack (20 Ducks) – $60
  ​

The more ducks you adopt, the better your chances of winning—and the more you help support an incredible cause.
​

There are some great prizes up for grabs! Here’s what’s floating in the winner’s pond:

🥇 1st Place: $500 cash
🥈 2nd Place: $250 cash
🥉 3rd Place: $100 Cash 
​
Plus 20 additional prizes, and a prize for the last place duck!
​

All proceeds from the Duck Derby go directly toward creating sensory backpacks and building sensory rooms in local schools for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

The sensory backpacks are filled with calming tools—like fidget toys, noise-reducing headphones, and visual supports—that help kids manage sensory overload and feel more comfortable in busy or overwhelming settings.

Even more importantly, the money raised will help establish sensory rooms in schools throughout the community. These rooms are designed to be peaceful, supportive spaces where students with IDD can go to reset, calm down, and feel safe during the school day.
By supporting this fundraiser, you’re helping create more inclusive environments where every student has the tools and spaces they need to thrive—not just academically, but emotionally too.

Because every child deserves to feel supported, understood, and included.

Let’s race for a reason—and make a difference, one duck at a time. 🐥🌊

​Imagine walking into a room where soft lights glow, calming colors surround you, and soothing textures invite you to explore. That’s the essence of a sensory room—a carefully designed space that provides sensory stimulation or relief. For students who experience sensory processing challenges, anxiety, or difficulty with self-regulation, these rooms can be a game-changer.

​In today’s world, inclusivity in education isn’t just a goal—it’s a necessity. Every student deserves a learning environment where they feel safe, supported, and empowered to succeed. But for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), traditional classrooms can sometimes be overwhelming. That’s where sensory rooms come in. These specially designed spaces provide a much-needed refuge, helping students regulate their emotions, process sensory input, and engage with learning in a way that works for them.

That’s the essence of a sensory room—a carefully designed space that provides sensory stimulation or relief.

Sensory rooms typically include soft lighting and calming colors to create a relaxing atmosphere. They also feature tactile elements like textured walls, weighted blankets, and fidget tools for sensory exploration. Many sensory rooms incorporate interactive features such as bubble tubes, swings, and balance boards to engage movement and coordination. Additionally, quiet zones with noise-canceling headphones or cozy seating provide a safe retreat from overstimulation.

One of the most significant benefits is emotional regulation—a calming space helps students manage anxiety, stress, and sensory overload. Sensory rooms also lead to increased focus and engagement, as students often return to class more centered and ready to learn. Additionally, these rooms provide support for sensory processing needs, offering controlled sensory input that helps students adapt to different environments and improve sensory integration. Lastly, they contribute to a reduction in behavioral challenges, as students who have a dedicated space to process emotions are less likely to experience outbursts of frustration in class.
