Organize and share things you love.
These are helpful items and resources for anyone with different types of diabilities and their support system. Please also check out my Developmental Disabilites videos and Purchase for a Cause Boards. Some Autism and Aspergers information is a a special board dedicated to these syndromes.
This visual timer is used to solve time perception problems at all ages and ability levels. It is ideal for individuals with Autism and Aspergers who have difficulty with transitions. A graphic clock face gives the child visual understanding of time elapsing. The Timer is visual -when the colored portion elapses, time is up. An optional Beep will also sound. This large timer is ideal for use in the classroom when dealing with transitions.
