Instead, we eliminate both visual and auditory distractions and provide a continuous, calm, visual cue. Most of the time, the app will be used by a caregiver, ABA therapist, or other professional. Changing options, and even the Stop button, can be disabled while the timer is running, and you can choose if you want an alert sound or not when the timer expires.
