Testimonials

"In no time you will develop the knack of knowing what time it is by feel." – ADD Resources

"This system has changed my life, it’s great…" – Student with AD/HD

"Dr. Becker, I have to say thank you so much for the WatchMinder. You have changed my son's life.  He's an 18 year old born with Down’s Syndrome and I have tried everything I can think of to remind him of his daily chores and also of taking care of his hygiene needs.  The watch has helped him tremendously.  He's also hearing impaired and the vibration alert works great for him.  My son also works at Home Depot and he was lacking that certain kick in the backside to keep him going….So we have the training mode set to "Work" every 30 minutes. It truly helps.  I will definitely recommend your watch to others."
