Autism-friendly time management

Time Timer® makes time visible with a disappearing coloured disk, helping children and adults with autism follow routines, handle transitions and feel more prepared throughout the day.

Timers for Autism

“I think the best part for me when using Time Timer® with kids with different special needs is the visual component. Time can be hard to understand, so seeing the dial slowly fade out is helpful to understand time.”

- Jen O'Brien, Occupational Therapist
