For her April pick, Dr. Umbach chose the Table Twist Timer: "Timers are a really useful tool for several cognitive-behavioral strategies. Timers or alarms can raise awareness for both body-focused repetitive behaviors and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. You can set the timer for a specific period and then check in to see how you are doing with strategy use and/or focus/attention. Timers can also help us transition between locations or activities, preventing us from staying in one place or task for too long. For kids, it can be helpful to establish a set amount of time, which they can see visually, until transitioning to the next activity."
