Interactive Metronome

The Interactive Metronome (IM) is the only research based technology program tha combines the principles of the music metronome and the power of a computer to measure and improve human performance. It has been shown to improve attention, coordination, and timing for individuals with sensory processing difficulties.

Children who may benefit from use of the IM include those with attention deficit disorders (ADHD), motor planning problems, poor coordination, post-stroke or traumatic brain injury issues, gross and fine-motor concerns, and learning and language disorders. IM can also be used as a mechanism to enhance academic performance and aid in a wide range of cognitive difficulties.
