Time Timer Original 8" Visual Countdown Timer - Medium 60-Minute Silent Classroom Visual Timer for SEL, Emotional Regulation, Focus, Calm Transitions, ADHD, Autism - (Blue & White)

What it is

Digits require reading and interpretation. A disc does not. That is the whole reason this design has become standard in classrooms, therapy rooms, and homes: a child glancing up can see how much time is left without doing any mental arithmetic. It runs silently, which matters in a classroom, and the eight inch size is readable across a room. It is widely used to support transitions between activities, which is often where friction happens.

Why HOS selected it

It is the reference product in this category and the one most teachers and therapists already recognise.

Who it is for

Buying considerations
