Dyslexia and time telling
Get him a mobile phone and teach him how to set the alarm (quietly) and the calendar. Check with the school so that they know why he is usinghis phone as many schools don't allow this.

My son is 10 with dyslexia and ASD. He has no number or time concept and I am looking for a watch that would help him when he goes to secondary school to get him from one class to another on time! But also to try and make him aware of time in everyday life. Its hard work as one minute, hour etc means nothing to him even when we try every hard for him to understand.
Has anybody got any ideas?
