Children’s routine guides: brushing, dressing and tidying
Musical and visual timers are useful tools for children of all kinds. “Be ready to leave in five minutes” can be hard to picture; music and moving visuals work together to make that time something a child can hear and see. Start with your family’s routine, then find the song and pace that suit your child.

Attention, transitions and sensory preferences
Learning what “five minutes” feels like is something all children grow into. Musical and visual cues can help make everyday routines understandable for any child. Autistic children and children with ADHD can find those same cues especially helpful when starting tasks and moving from one activity to the next. These guides show how to introduce them and adapt them to your child.
