Interactive Metronome was
developed in the early 1990s and first used to help children
with learning and developmental disorders. The pediatric clients
using IM were able to develop significant increases in
neurological and motor areas that they had not sufficiently
developed such as:
Attention and Concentration
Motor Coordination
Language Processing
Control of Impulsivity
The IM program provides a challenging, goal-oriented
process that motivates clients to improve motor control and
cognition.IM
treatment has been used to help children diagnosed with:
Sensory Integration Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Cerebral Palsy
Non-verbal Learning Disorder
ADD/ADHD
Many children diagnosed
with pediatric and developmental disorders may show:
Language deficits (poor listening
comprehension, poor verbal expression, poor reading
comprehension)
Poor organizational skills
Poor memory
Poor fine and gross motor skills
Poor balance
Pediatric therapists and
education specialists understand the correlation between the
neurological functions of motor planning and sequencing and the
critical aspects of human development, such as basic thinking,
organizing, academic achievement, and coordination.
When a child demonstrates
a deficit in motor planning and sequencing, it is typically
accompanied by problems in learning, coordination, or behavioral
control. Prior to the development of Interactive Metronome, Inc.
(IM) pediatric therapists were able to identify patients with
these difficulties, but there was no system for measurable
assessment and improvement.
Today we know how to
measure a child’s motor planning and sequencing abilities, and
we can show measurable improvement in a short period of time.
IM has undergone
scientific trials and has been shown to improve:
Attention and Concentration
Motor Control and Coordination
Cognitive Processing
Reading and Math Fluency
Control of Aggression/Impulsivity
