Time Blindness

Course Overview

Many children struggle with time not because they’re careless—but because they don’t naturally feel or track the passage of time.

“Time Blindness” is designed to help parents teach their child how to better understand time, plan ahead, and manage tasks more effectively. Instead of rushing at the last minute, underestimating how long things take, or constantly needing reminders, your child will begin to develop a clearer sense of time and how to use it.

This course breaks down complex time management skills into simple, practical strategies you can use in everyday situations—at home, in school, and in the community—so your child can become more independent, organized, and prepared.

What's Included

  • Module 1: What Is Time Blindness? (6 mins)
  • Module 2: Making Time Visual (7 mins)
  • Module 3: Time Chunking and Transition Tools (6 mins)
  • Module 4: Building Realistic Routines and Daily Plans (6 mins)
  • Course Wrap Up (4 mins)

In addition to video lessons, each module includes a downloadable worksheet.

The fact that I can continue to access the videos and readings upon completing the course has been a fantastic resource for me. All educators would benefit from this course.

This 6-module online certificate course is the best training I have ever participated in. As an IEC who provides high school and college consulting for students who have specific learning, cognitive and/or developmental challenges, the course deepened my understanding of learning challenges, and my ability to read and interpret evaluations. I developed new questioning techniques to discern my students' learning strengths, average abilities, and challenges. I watched videos and read the supplemental articles on my own timeline, there was no pressure. Quite simply, this course was a game changer for me and I think it will be the same for...
