What is Interactive Metronome®?There is growing understanding that motor planning and sequencing is one of the most significant processing capacities that underlie a broad spectrum of children's learning impairments and endowments. The object of Interactive Metronome Training is to help individuals improve their ability to selectively attend, without interruption by internal thoughts or external distractions, for extended periods of time. Simple limb motion exercises are used as systematic outward catalysts to an underlying mental focus improvement process. Until recently, interventions to strengthen motor planning and sequencing capacities have been limited to working with overt or surface behaviors in educational or therapeutic settings. Interactive Metronome Training is the only educational intervention to systematically use guidance sounds and repetitive limb motion exercises to help users improve their underlying motor planning and sequencing ability. The American Journal of Occupational Therapy will soon publish a study which investigated the effect of the Interactive Metronome® on children with ADHD. It found the IM to be the first attention training technology to achieve statistically significant improvements. Children with autism, Asperger's Syndrome, PDD, Cerebral Palsy and other Learning Disabilities can also benefit from Interactive Metronome Training. For information, contact OTAP at (609) 921-1555. |
