Time Timer works as a VISUAL way to display how much time is left. To set the timer, move the red disk to the desired interval. The disk diminishes as time elapses until no red is visible. It's a universal question asked by people from every walk of life. Elapsed time is an abstract concept that is difficult to understand and even harder to manage. Yet, managing time is a first step toward independence for many and a critical success factor for everyone. This important concept needs to be clearly understood to promote the efficient use of time. Today, there is a company dedicated to making the concept of elapsed time easier to understand for people of all ages and ability levels. Time Timer LLC is taking the idea of a simple, visual depiction of elapsed time and turning it into a line of products that helps solve time perception problems. These proven products are so easy to use that even young children and those with learning disabilities can monitor their own timed activities. Tangible time management is finally a reality with the Time Timer® line of products. When you need to manage time or teach the concept of time, there is no better tool than a Time Timer. You don?t need to focus on, or understand a traditional clock face to successfully use a Time Timer. This innovative tool constantly reinforces the sense of elapsed time in order to promote better time management. You see and "feel" time elapse as the Time Timer?s dial graphically shows you how much time is left. Wherever time needs to be measured, the Time Timer line of products offers a unique and superior solution. You can use Time Timer products to: Promote efficient use of time Master the concept of time Encourage autonomy and independence Achieve better time management See elapsed time in a sound-sensitive environment Time repetitive patterns or actions Time exercises, teaching sessions, meetings, homework, duration drills, tests and any other timed activity

5The Time Timer is Great for Adults Too!  Mar 26, 2010 By M. Clark
As an adult with ADD, I keep my Time Timer at my side throughout the day. It helps me conceptualize time in a way that no other gadget ever has. Using it keeps me on track and on time better than a clock, better than an alarm or stopwatch, better than anything! I love that it makes not one sound except for a tiny beep when the time is up, because that way I can keep it by my computer as I'm working and it doesn't distract me. If I want to know how much time I have left I might glance at it, but overall I tend to forget it's there when I'm concentrating on my work--and that's a good thing. There's no "ticking".

I have also started using it whenever I have a class to teach or a public speaking engagement. Just before I begin, I start the timer and place it in a visible spot like on a desk or chair facing the podium. Somehow, watching the red disappear makes it very easy to keep my talk to its exact, designated time. I used to run long for the first 2/3rds and then have to cut important stuff at the end. But now, with my Time Timer, I'm better able to see precisely how much time is left--not in minutes but in red color--and trim my talk along the way.

In short, at work and home, the Time Timer is one of the most useful products I own. I highly recommend it!

5Time timer  Feb 04, 2010 By L. Torff
I explained to my 10 and 7-year old children that the time timer is not a toy but a tool, and because it can be broken if mishandled, we are only letting parents set the time for now. The kids did play with it just a little, but so far, no problems. Now we ask, "How many red minutes do you have left to finish your check list?" We don't tell them what to do anymore - working great.

5Fantastic for teaching time awareness!!!!  Mar 08, 2010 By A. Dreyer
I have foster children with special needs. I purchased a 12 inch Time Timer for each of my foster sons classrooms and a 8" one for the house. The classrooms are LOVING them as they provide a great visual for all of the students as to when time is up and it's time to move onto the next task. At home I am finding it useful with my developmentally delayed teens as well as my "normal" functioning 3-year-old. I would definitely recommend a Time Timer for use with any child or adult that has difficulty telling time or difficulty with time management!

5cut down on my need to monitor  Jul 31, 2009 By Holly "working mom"
It reinforces prior knowledge from pre-K and K, exposes my 6 year old to counting down and elapsed time. The bonus for me is it has cut down on my need to monitor and places the responsibility where it belongs. The dial is a bit fragile so I set it on most occasions.

3Very Helpful Timer  Apr 17, 2010 By J. Girl "Lori"
Ordering this timer online was risky, not seeing it in person, but I ended up liking it. I love the fact that my classroom of kids can see time running down from a distance, which was my goal. This size (8 inch) was good enough and I did not need the 12 inch. I was looking for an overhead timer so everyone could see, but I didn't want to leave the overhead on for lengths of time. It does the job that I wanted it to do. Some disadvantages: the audio alert is only one small beep, which most of the time no one notices. The face is also very flimsy, so I tell my kids they cannot touch it. Last, you really have no way of knowing whether the battery is still working or not as nothing moves or sounds until time runs down. Overall, i'm glad I did buy it, but wish they could make those few important changes.
