Who it is used with
Clock faces can stop making sense after a stroke. Telling time practice is used with any type of aphasia.
Start on Tap the parts. The steps get harder from left to right.
How to use it
Hear the prompt
It is read out loud. Tap 🔊 to hear it again.
Tap, drag or choose
Tap a part of the clock, set the hands, or pick the time.
It moves on by itself
Or tap Skip. After 8 clocks the set is done.
Modes
The numbered strip at the top switches the step. Your choice is remembered.
Tap the parts
Tap the hour hand, the minute hand, a number, or the center.
Count by 5s
Tap the numbers in order and watch the minute hand count by fives.
Read the time
What time does the clock show? Tap one of four times.
Set the clock
Drag the hands, or tap − 5 min and + 5 min, to show a time. Then tap Check.
Elapsed time
It is 2:00. What time will it be in 30 minutes? Tap one of four times.
Ways to get through it
When a time will not come, there is help on the card. The hour hand is navy and the minute hand is red.
Hint
Depends on the step: a spoken clue, then the answer lights up; wrong times fade one by one; or the exercise sets one hand for you, then both.
The method behind it
Time-telling practice. Reading and setting a clock face, step by step, from its parts to working out time.
