Time management technology for autism

Time Timer creates products that help people with autism of all ages and abilities manage time—whether in the classroom, at home, or in the office. Keeping track of time can be challenging for everyone. As the most intuitive and innovative time management solution for autism, Time Timer helps users of all abilities and learning styles stay on track and punctual.

“I think the best part for me when utilizing (the Time Timer) with kids with all different special needs is the visual component… it is hard for younger kids to understand something abstract like time, so having a dial slowly fade out is helpful to understand time.”

- Jen O'Brien, Occupational Therapist

For Autism

Time is an abstract concept, which can be frustrating and confusing, especially for neurodiverse minds. Time Timer’s visual timers are designed with autistic time perception in mind to help individuals with Autism “see” time as it passes.

  • Ease stressful transitions by showing "how much longer".
  • Help visitors and new caregivers keep a consistent routine.
  • Promote natural strengths like visual thinking.
  • Clarify expectations for upcoming activities with visual schedules.
  • Foster confidence and independence to empower individuals.
  • Build welcoming and diverse workplaces with visual stimuli.
