What is the Interactive Metronome?
The Interactive Metrnome is a brain-based, multi-disciplinary assessment and treatment tool that has been shown, in clinical research, to improve the neurological functions of motor planning and sequencing. Motor planning and sequencing are core functions of the brain. Simple tasks such as reaching for a glass of water, walking smoothly and the ability to arrange words in a sentence are some of the many everyday functions the result from the ability to motor plan and sequence.
What can the Interactive Metronome help with?
The IM has been demonstrated by clinical studies to help with attention and concentration, auditory processing, cognitive processing, motor control, coordination, reading, math, language processing, executive functioning and control of aggression and impulsivity.
What types of diagnoses can it help?
The IM has been shown to improve function and recovery of patients diagnosed with:
- Attention Deficit Disorder/Attendtion Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD)
- Developmental Delays/Learning Disabilities
- Sensory Processing Disorders
