Does TIME OUT at your house...have you burnt out? Why not try
the Time Timer, a tactile time management tool. Whether you are trying to each your child time comprehension or time management, or you're just looking for a VISUAL way to depict the passage ot time, this innovative tool may be just the ticket.
It's better than a traditional timer and much quieter too! Now students can
SEE and FEEL time elapse!
When used in a classroom setting this tool reinforces the sense of elapsed
time by a clear graphic depiction of the time remaining on the dial. Its large
clear dial numbers and high color resolution is only enhanced by it's whisper-quiet
sound. An excellent visual aid to use for students before transitioning from
one activity to another, or to help develop their own time management skills.
This tool can also be used as a "precursor" to teaching very young
students analog clock learning. The Time Timer comes in a variety of sizes,
even a small 3" portable version is available. Another benefit of the innovative
tool is the sense of independence and self-reliance this device can foster in
students. TIME will never be the same!

"Most of you probably already use this, but for those of you who don't,
I have incorporated Time Timer into our routine in both our class with Aspergers
students and also in our regular LLD class. I'm hoping to purchase one for our
PS class as well. It has been around forever and it's the best! The students
watch the time they have for whatever activity disappear (time is noted in red).
It can work a miracle with some children because it is so visual. I love it
so much I purchased two for our school with my own money. This, along with a
picture system, really helps them gain some control and
independence in their life." Beth M.
"Simply the BEST visual aid for time management out there today".
