RESEARCH
Time Perception
Research shows that children and adults with even mild attention issues have deficits in time perception, which can impact their ability to manage time and complete tasks.
“Empirical evidence has shown that children with ADHD manifestdeficits in time production, time reproduction, and motor timing tasks.”
“Time perception is impaired in adult ADHD. Since the term time perception subsumes different constructs, includingtime estimation, time reproduction, time production, and duration discrimination…”

Examples include: reminders/alarm clocks, weekly schedules or step-by-step schedules with text or pictures, andtimers visualizing time graphically.”

WonderTimer was designed to be easy-to-use by anyone at any age or level of ability. We intentionally worked with early educators and researchers in the ADHD community to design a timer that is accessible for a wide range of abilities.
