The Time Timers enable children to see how much time is left without having to know how to tell the time. The Timers have clear, distinctive colours, large dial numbers, and an ultra-quiet quartz movement. These features make the Time Timers perfect for students with difficulties maintaining concentration on tasks, and persisting with tasks. This can be applicable for children with sensory processing issues, ADD, ADHD, autism, etc.
The Time Timer Plus has a protective, anti-static carry case with a handle for extra portability. This option can be set for any time option up to one hour. We also have the 'plus' carry-case options which are specifically for 5 or 20 minutes.
Time Timers can be used at home, within therapy sessions, and at school, and for both individuals and groups of children. With the Time Timer, the clear visual feedback helps children better understand the passage of time and they can then monitor their own activities. This improves their confidence and gives them organised time periods which can reduce anxiety. Children know how much longer they need to persist with a task!
Time Timers can also be used in the following situations:
- Timing activity sessions and specific exercises
- Self-monitoring
- Overseeing speech, hearing and vision therapies
- Memory prompting for medications, appointments, etc.
You can use the visual cue only, or you can add sound with the clear "beep-beep" sound to signal the end of a time segment. Operates on one "AA" battery (not included). The time disc may be moved manually in either direction and can be set at any point on the face.
These Time Timers are a valuable resource for every classroom to assist with anxiety levels, help with transitioning and for students to develop awareness about the passage of time.
