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
