The Interactive Metronome (IM) is a brain-based rehabilitation assessment and training program developed to directly improve the processing abilities that affect attention, motor planning and sequencing. This strengthens motor skills, including mobility and gross motor function and many fundamental cognitive capacities such as planning, organizing and language.
The IM program provides structured, goal-oriented training. Participants attempt to match a computer-generated rhythmic beat with repetitive motor actions such as tapping his/her toes or clapping.
Benefits include improvements in:
- Attention and Concentration
- Language Processing
- Behavior (aggression and impulsivity)
- Motor Control and Coordination
- Academic Performance
- Motor Planning and Sequencing
Who can benefit?
Children with:
- Sensory Integration Disorder
- Asperger Syndrome
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- ADD/ADHD
