Most of the tools can be bought by oneself. Some may also be prescribed as tools by an occupational therapist at BUP or the habilitation.

 

Example:

Cell phone, tablet - use reminders and alarms, make to do lists, voice memos (record a note). There are various apps as tools for training perception of time. They clearly show how the minutes go.

Timer on cell phone - signal to start or end activity.

Calendar online, such as Google Calendar that can be synced with multiple users, so that you and your parents can see the same.

Alarm clock, for example, clock that vibrates, rings and blinks. Waking up sometimes requires several alarms - an alarm clock at the bed, one in another room and alarm on the mobile in a third place.
