Time Timer for In-Home Learning

Time Timer can be a valuable tool for at-home learning by providing a visual representation of time, helping students manage their tasks and stay on schedule. This visual aid is particularly beneficial for children with learning disabilities, such as ADD/ADHD or autism, as it helps them develop a better sense of time and improve their time management skills, fostering a more structured and productive learning environment at home.

Schooling Right at Home with the Time Timer

Time Timer is a recognized resource for the classroom, but that doesn’t mean the classroom needs to be in a school building. Choosing to educate children in the home environment can add the flexibility and accommodations that can enhance learning for many students. Just like in the classroom, the Time Timer can increase focus and self-regulation, making homeschooling efficient, effective, and far less stressful for both students and educators.

Libby, Mom of daughter with autism

"Once again, Time Timer to the rescue. Each morning we draw out what she (and I) will do for the day. It’s a little messy here, but she knows what is expected of her and what I also need to do—in this case, computer work. She’s currently doing her 15 minutes of “quiet activity,” with her timer at her side. Your products have been part of our lives for a while now, but they are even more critical than before. It’s giving her a feeling of security to know what she does at intervals, and how long each will take. Thank you a million times over."

Karen, Mom

"I love the time timer! My 12-year-old son was diagnosed 2+ years ago with ADD and anxiety. Ever since 1st grade it would take him FOREVER to do homework. I tried everything possible... frustration levels were high every day for both of us. About two years ago I saw an ad for the Time Timer and had to try it... what could I lose, right? The Time Timer has helped to manage his homework time, as well as his free time by having the visual of how much time he has left. Sometimes, it even motivates him to move faster! There is so much less stress at homework time! Thank you for this wonderful tool!"

Excerpt from My Home School Reviews

"While this timer certainly has many potential uses, the obvious one for me is homeschooling. One problem we seem to have is my kids spending too much time on one subject to the exclusion of others. Some classes (like math) take as long as they take. Others, though, like handwriting, really should have a set amount of time devoted to them and no more. Enter the Time Timer! My kids actually fight over who gets to use it on a given day."
