Rechargeable 99-Min Visual Timer | NDIS Time Management Aid

Empower NDIS participants to overcome "time blindness" and manage daily routines with the Rechargeable 99-Min Visual Timer. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this device is specifically designed to support children and adults with ADHD, Autism (ASD), and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) who struggle with the abstract concept of time.

Unlike standard digital clocks that require reading skills and calculation, this visual timer uses a graphical interface (featuring an engaging smiley face progression) to show exactly how much time is left. This concrete visual representation helps bridge the gap between "knowing" the time and "feeling" the passage of time. With a rechargeable battery and customizable sensory settings—including a completely silent mode—it provides a reliable, anxiety-reducing structure for therapy sessions, schoolwork, screen time, and daily transitions.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Mitigating Time Blindness: By converting abstract time into a visual countdown, it supports participants with Executive Dysfunction (common in ADHD) to better understand duration and pacing.

• Smoothing Transitions: Visualizing the end of an activity reduces the "shock" of transitions, significantly lowering anxiety and the likelihood of behavioral outbursts or "meltdowns."

• Sensory Regulation: The silent operation mode allows users with auditory hypersensitivity to monitor time without the stress of a constant ticking noise, while adjustable brightness caters to visual sensitivities.

• Promoting Independence: Encourages self-regulation by allowing the participant to monitor their own progress on tasks without constant verbal prompting from carers or parents.

Key Features & Benefits

• Rechargeable Convenience: Features a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts up to two weeks on a single charge, ensuring the device is always ready and eliminating the cost/hassle of disposable batteries.

• Multi-Sensory Alerts: Offers flexible alarm settings (Silent/Vibrate/Sound) and adjustable screen brightness, allowing the device to be tailored to the user's specific sensory profile.

• Intuitive Visual Interface: The colorful display with a diminishing graphical circle (and smiley face) makes time management accessible even for non-readers or those with cognitive delays.

• Dual Functionality: Works as both a countdown timer (for task limits) and a count-up stopwatch (to measure task duration), supporting various therapy and educational goals.

• Versatile Placement: Equipped with a magnetic back for fridges/whiteboards and a kickstand for desks, ensuring it is visible wherever the activity is taking place.
