Time
management for people who can't tell time with the Quarter Hour Watch,
developmentally delayed individuals may gradually, and at their own
speed, learn how to manage time related events. The most elementary
use - how to use the device to be on time. The basic principles are:
- Events are represented by picture. - easy to
understand and easy to program to specific times.
- These pictures are placed into the QUARTER HOUR
WATCH and the time remaining to the event is shown as lighted
points. Each point represents one quarter of an hour. If there are
2 hours or more remaining to the event all the points are dark.
After each quarter hour, a point turns light until they are all
light and a signal is sounded and the points flash.
The pictures are placed on impact resistant plastic
chips (about the size of 35 mm slides) that have programmable inserts
on the back. The inserts have a clock pattern and are simple to set
for any absolute time.
The Quarter Hour Watch is small, robust and operates
on 3 AAA alkaline batteries. It comes with: 5 picture cards (the
plastic chips for marking), 20 disposable watch faces & carrying
case. Weight: .5 pounds.
