SN children

This is a fantastic product to show children how time moves and when time is up. I use it all the time in my work as a SALT with people with SN.

That looks good and the countdown goes clockwise (most timers count backwards). Does any one know of a wake up clock that will help child know when morning has not yet come? Ds (8 SLD) asks every 5 minutes if it is morning yet because he doesnt understand the difference between 5.40 and 6.20! (I have put a picture of 6 am next to his clock but he doesnt understand clockwise/ hand size/ and cannot read all clock numbers yet) This morning I missed waking when Ds got up to find he had eaten my Mothers day chocolates and the evidence was everywhere ! School will have a challenging day!

Bunny clock (raises it's ears and opens its eyes when morning comes)?

I also have a large clock I was asked to test called the tick task which is pretty good. DS1 understands it up to a point...

Your feedback is interesting Yurt.
The Timetimer has been so useful in many settings for me. Some examples:

-Letting a child know when their time on the computer/watching tv is up
-Setting it when they go out and play-when the red has all gone.it's time to come in
-Letting a child know how long they have got to stay on task
-In groupwork (with adults and kids) I have it on display at all times
-I use it when I am training/giving talks/holding a meeting. It keeps me on track and focussed
-For cooking times

There is a virtual demonstration on the website.

Nealry everyone I have shown it to has gone and bought one.
