What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This 8-inch countdown timer shows time left as a red disk on a white face, so you can see how much of an hour remains. The open face has raised numbers and Braille markings, so people who are blind or have low vision can also feel the time and set it by touch. It runs up to 60 minutes and doesn't tick loudly. An audible alert is optional if you want a sound when time is up. It works well for classroom tasks, homework, or home routines where someone needs to understand how long an activity will last. It takes 1 AA battery, which isn't included.
