Time Matters

Reviews / Votes

"Written by speech therapists this excellent set of resources covers a significant gap in the market. Informative, well written, clear and easy to use, it will prove to be invaluable to a range of professionals (and parents) that work with young people from 10 years old into early adulthood. Chapter headings include: assessment, estimation and perception, calendar, clock, vocabulary, organisation and school time.

Each chapter includes clear explanations of the issues, interesting facts and tips, assessment and self assessment tools, reflection points and a range of projects and activities. Examples are up to date, with realistic scenarios.

In a wire bound, A4 format, all pages are in greyscale (perfect for photocopying) and there are some materials on the CD-Rom which adds to the flexibility of this resource. The book concludes with a chapter on specific needs and settings, followed by additional resources and references. Highly recommended." - Diana Murdoch, Research Assistant at University of Edinburgh, formerly a SENCo (from nasen Connect)

"The authors' observations in secondary schools and other settings led to the realisation that a large number of older children and young people have a very poor knowledge and sense of time. Time Matters. A practical resource, includes tools to assess young people's understanding of time followed by strategies, games and activities to teach clock and calendar time, promote better estimation and perception of time and improve time management skills." - Special Children Magazine
