Attainment Pocket Timer — Magnetic Classroom Timer for Students

The Attainment Pocket Timer is a simple, pocket-sized timer built for real classroom and therapy use. Whether you're cueing transitions, reinforcing attention to task, or running a timed activity, this easy-to-operate pocket timer for special education gives teachers, therapists, and parents a no-fuss way to track time and help students build independence.

Why It Matters

For students with autism, ADHD, learning differences, or anyone who benefits from visual and auditory time cues, knowing exactly how much time is left can be the difference between staying engaged and shutting down. The Pocket Timer makes time visible and predictable — so students can transition smoothly, finish tasks with confidence, and learn to self-monitor without constant adult prompting.

Key Features

• Counts up or counts down — flexible for timed tests, transitions, work tasks, or "how long did that take" tracking
• Magnetic back — snaps onto whiteboards, filing cabinets, refrigerators, and other metal surfaces
• Built-in stand — props up on any flat surface, desk, or table
• Simple On-Off switch — easy for students to operate independently
• Audible alert when time is up — clear cue without being startling
• Truly pocket-sized — travels easily between rooms, settings, or home and school
• Battery included — runs on 1 AAA battery (in the box, ready to use)

Why We Like It

What makes the Attainment Pocket Timer worth keeping in every classroom kit is how dependable it is for the small, frequent moments — not just the big ones. A two-minute warning before clean-up. A five-minute focus block. A quick stretch break. Pulling it out of a pocket, slapping it on the whiteboard, and starting the count takes about three seconds, which is exactly the speed busy teachers and therapists actually need.

We also like that it grows with the student. Younger learners can use it for visual cueing with adult support. Older students can run it themselves as a real independence-building tool — setting their own work intervals, checking their own pacing on timed tasks, and self-monitoring transitions. For 10-pack buyers, the PT-G10 makes outfitting a full classroom or therapy team genuinely affordable.

Great For

• Special education classrooms and resource rooms
• Occupational and speech therapy sessions
• Life skills instruction (cooking lessons, hygiene routines, chores)
• Timed tests and assessments
• Home learning and independent work blocks
• Self-monitoring and self-determination practice

Whether you need a single Pocket Timer for one student or a class set, this is the kind of low-tech tool that earns its place in the supply bin and stays there for years.
