ABA Tools

Read full description

ABA Tools - Visual Timer" is a professional visual timer meticulously designed for parents, ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapists, and interventionists. Understanding the unique needs of special education, we've created an incredibly clean and intuitive interface, making it especially suitable for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). More than just a timekeeping tool, it serves as a powerful visual prompt. It creates immediate focused momentum under moderate time pressure, ensuring children stay on track with their learning. With versatile and professional timer settings, therapists and parents can easily tailor the most appropriate teaching plans based on the child's goals, effectively boosting their attention span and learning motivation. Core Features: β€’ Hidden Timer (Variable Interval): Breaking the norm, wait times are unpredictable. This unpredictability encourages children to "consistently" display target behaviors since they cannot anticipate exactly when the reward will occur. β€’ Dual-Direction Timer Modes: Positive Mode: Encourages the child to continuously maintain a good target behavior for a set period. Negative Mode: Requires the child to complete a task within a time limit. Failing to meet the goal triggers a corresponding negative visual cue, helping children develop a clear sense of time and responsibility. β€’ "Fast-then-Slow" Rhythm: Unlike traditional steady countdowns, this offers a more flexible perception of time passing to suit various training scenarios. β€’ Custom Color Labels: Supports using different colors to represent various items or states (e.g., red for "alert," yellow for "happy"), making visual prompts more intuitive and easier to understand.

Two ready-made routines, one for the morning and one for bedtime. Each step has its own length: getting dressed, breakfast, brushing teeth, packing the bag, then at night bath, pyjamas, brushing teeth, story. Tap a step and its countdown starts. Your child ticks off what is done, unticks if they change their mind, and one button clears the list for tomorrow. The routines and their steps are free, and so is choosing the picture and background for each one. β€’ Magical illustrations and backgrounds, added to regularly with no app update to install β€’ Lengths from 30 seconds to 2 hours β€’ The sky follows the time of day: morning, daylight, dusk, night β€’ Available in 6 languages β€’ No ads, no account, no personal data.
