Description

Wait Timer is a visual and audio tool to help teach good waiting behavior. The app includes a social story about waiting, and an audio/visual timer that can be set to different times.

Features:

- Great color-coded visual timer that shows the time ticking away.
- Settings to easily change the “wait” time.
- Social story that talks about waiting and waiting strategies.
- Wait time is the time of the whole clock (full circle), so users can always clearly see time remaining.
- Helps students with transitions between tasks.
- Timer does not re-set if device “goes to sleep.”
- Set the timer to as little as one second to gradually introduce waiting!
- No minimum or maximum times, the Wait Timer can time as little or as much time as you want.
- App runs in the background and notifies you when time has elapsed, phone calls will not re-set your timer!
- Start the timer with just one click so students and children can use it independently.

The app opens up to a screen with a large timer on it and a “start” button.” Once the button is tapped the timer will start counting down the last time set in the “settings.” As the hand on the timer clock moves the clock face will go from colored to white, letting the waiter see how much time is remaining.

The app also includes a social story about waiting and the Wait Timer. The social story talks about frustration that may happen with waiting, and how to wait for something you want.

The settings and instructions screen allows you to choose the amount of time the timer is set for, and includes instructions for the parent or caregiver on how to introduce the Wait Timer.

A motivational app for kids

I have had difficulty trying to control my 6 year old kid. After I got this app, whenever they did something wrong they would have to wait for this timer until it finished. The storyline behind it is motivational that the kids will feel comfortable in using the app. Good job to the developers.

A great tool for the kids.

I download a lot of apps for my kids and came across this and thought what difference it can make but this app has proved me wrong and got a nice change in my kid. Kids are not patient like we adults are but this app will make them patient in a better way. A big thanks for Touch Autism team for giving such a nice app to us.

I just wish it would also have an optional timer sound

Looks very simple but good - I will try it out on my very impatient son today … my only wish is that this app would be updated to add a timer sound(s) … otherwise I can see my son staring at the timer waiting for the time to be up rather rather focusing on the task at hand.
