Does have a good concept of wholes and parts? You could make a braille analog clock and fold it into four pieces--or create distinct braille lines that show the quarters. Then slowly instruct the child to locate the time ... and discuss which quarter it would calculated as. Or, if the he or she needs information presented in steps (because time is difficult) make separate clocks--one with the numbers (1-12), one with the minutes (counting by 5's), etc.  Sometimes, they need to take in each part before they can get to the final task (the number 3 correlates to minutes, which is .25 or a quarter of an hour).

Hope this did not confuse you more.

My 18 year old, blind from birth, is still having trouble grasping time.? To 
confuse it further, in math last week the students were calculating their work 
time, which deals with 15 minutes being calculated as "25."? So here I am trying 
to tell her the working 45 minutes is recorded as 75 minutes and I can see it 
was going nowhere.? 


Any suggestions from others who's child had difficulty grasping this conept?
