There’s a world of difference between looking at a clock and being able to say that it’s 3 o’clock and understanding “how long” 5 minutes is. For those who learn differently, this type of abstract thinking is even more difficult and often creates a high level of anxiety. Recommended by Autism and ADHD experts, the Time Timer displays the passage of time with a disappearing red disk. This is a powerful tool for visual thinkers of all ages and abilities. Adults and children with learning disabilities & ADHD: Use the Time Timer anywhere to help “manage life” and develop a reliable internal clock. Break big challenges into small tasks. Autism: Eases stressful transitions by showing “how much longer” and “here’s what ‘5 more minutes’ really means.” Encourages confidence, independence and natural talents like visual thinking. Shows when challenging activities will end: “Let’s go shopping for 30 minutes.” Helps visitors and new caregivers stick to the family routine. Therapy sessions: See at a glance how much time is left with no disruptive alarm. Keep sessions focused and on track, and manage time in between sessions to document notes. Monitor timed responses to assist with diagnoses.
