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.
