Are there any specialized alarm clocks?
Waking up and getting ready on time is crucial to maintaining employment. Depending on the severity and nature of the disability, there are several options available for alarm clocks. The two main parts of an alarm clock are the display and the alarm. Displays come in many different sizes, formats, and colors. Large number displays or clocks that announce the time with the press of a button can be helpful to individuals who have difficulty seeing the time. If an individual is unable to change positions to see the clock, there are projection displays that can shine the time on any flat surface (i.e., a ceiling or a wall). For waking, there are clocks with vibration/bed shaking, flashing lights, and/or amplified buzzing. These alarm enhancers can also be purchased separately to work with many existing alarm clocks.
