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.

What Your Child Will Learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to help your child:

1. Develop a Better Sense of Time

2. Estimate and Plan More Effectively

3. Use Tools to Stay on Track

4. Improve Follow-Through and Task Completion
Support your child in starting tasks on time, staying engaged, and completing responsibilities without last-minute stress.

I am so happy I took the 6 module Understanding Diverse Learning Profile course. I am an Executive Assistant working at Frankenberger Associates and I wanted to take the course to better understand FA’s services. The course was outstanding. From the perspective of someone who is a parent, and not an educator, I gained an enormous amount of knowledge about executive functioning, social skills, evaluation and brain training. I learned about the intricacies of understanding student learning profiles and I loved the videos about working memory, processing speed, ADHD and Dyslexia. Learning about the brain was fascinating and I left...

My student, while a relatively new client of Frankenberger Associates, is already finding work with his coach to be helpful and effective.

This course was exactly what I needed to feel more confident in my role as Director of Academic Support. The modules were comprehensive and practical with supporting materials to reinforce the topics. 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.

The workshops that Frankenberger Associates have provided to our entire faculty and individual teachers has strengthened the professional skills and knowledge of the educators at Woodhall. Connecting theory and practice with an appealing mix of lucidity and common sense, Caryl and her colleagues engaged with our school community in a way that is accessible and applicable.

I loved this course and wish everyone at Middlebridge could take it. For folks entering into the profession or looking to have an update on learning challenges, the videos and supplementary readings were on point. I loved the processing speed and working memory videos as so often people do not realize how this impacts the learner. The EF video was excellent and tangible as was the strategies for teachers. It is very rare when you have a PD with actual strategies offered. I loved the evaluation section and questions to be posed by admissions professionals and teachers in the classroom...

This 6-module online 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, and I watched the 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...

I'm so glad I took the Understanding Diverse Learning Profiles course. It introduced some ideas that were new to me, and also brought clarity and cohesion to ideas that I had picked up along the way, but didn’t have a context for. I gained greater fluency in the concepts and terminology that my colleagues in learning support use routinely, so I’m now better prepared to engage in meaningful conversation with them about how our school supports students. The readings and videos were varied and thought-provoking, and the regular meetings with the cohort and the instructors were helpful, motivating, and fun! The...

The combination of brain training and executive functioning support that Frankenberger Associates and Oxford Academy have collaborated on over the years has always been a resounding success. Caryl and her team are experts in helping students see major improvements in focus, organization, and memory, making daily tasks and long-term goals feel so much more manageable. I can’t recommend them enough for anyone wanting to strengthen cognitive skills and executive functioning!
