Knowing whether he is hitting before, after, or exactly in sync with the beat to the millisecond allows the individual to make immediate, online corrections to improve timing & rhythm over the course of training. As the individual activates a trigger in time with a steady auditory beat, IM technology provides real-time auditory and visual feedback for millisecond timing. Psychology in the Schools, 44(8), 849-863.Interactive Metronome® (IM) is an evidence-based assessment and training tool that measures & improves Neurotiming, or the synchronization of neural impulses within key brain networks for cognitive, communicative, sensory & motor performance. University of Central Florida, Institute for Applied Psychometrics, University of Texas. It provides a focused way for the client to exercise their brains motor. Improvements in interval time tracking and effects on reading achievement. Interactive Metronome is an innovative science-based movement therapy program. A gain of 7 – 20% in reading achievement was shown in the 49 children whose reading and pre-reading skills were pre and post-tested.” (McGrew, Taub, Keith, (2007). “A study published in the journal, Psychology in Schools, showed that children completing a training program with Interactive Metronome achieved accelerated reading outcomes. (1996) “Improving Student Motor Integration by Use of an Interactive Metronome” presented at the 1996 Annual Meeting of the American Educational Association in Chicago, IL.)
Parents of the IM-trained group also reported marked improvement in their children’s ability to attend to tasks, read, write and general behavior. “A comparison of IM-trained special education students to a control group found the IM-trained group improved significantly in motor control and motor coordination as measured by independent assessments.” (Bruininks- Oseretsky and SIPT Motor Accuracy Test) compared to the control group. American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 55(2), 155-162.)ĪDHD and the Interactive Metronome – Video Link Effect of Interactive Metronome rhythmicity training on children with ADHD. “A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 9-12 year old boys diagnosed with ADHA found the IM program showed statistically significant improvement in attention, coordination, control of aggression/impulsivity, reading and language processing.” ( Greenspan, Shaffer, Tuchman, Stemmer, Jacokes. Talk to TEAM4Kids to see if your child is a candidate for IM-Home. Any changes are downloaded for the patient’s next session. Providers can view the results and make any modifications needed. When the training session is complete the results are uploaded to the eClinic.
Therapies are only suggested after completing the Diagnostic Evaluation for Therapy Protocol. Davis will only be administering BioAcoustics and Cymatherapy in her semi-retirement. The training plan guides the patient to perform specific IM exercises. Berard AIT, FST, EnListen ®, Tomatis®, Fast ForWord, Interactive Metronome, BioAcoustics, and/or Cymatheraoy. Providers assign and manage an individualized training plan for their patient through an online therapy management tool called the IM-Home eClinic.
IM-Home was developed so that IM Providers could help their patients get the benefits of the Interactive Metronome even when they aren’t in the clinic. Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Language Pathologists and other professionals use the IM to accelerate therapy outcomes and exceed traditional clinical expectations. IM is used by over 15,000 providers in hospitals and clinics throughout the United States and Canada. A timing instrument used in therapy to improve planning and sequencing by using neuro-sensory and neuro-motor exercises. The Interactive Metronome is a therapy tool that engages patients and drives them to improve their clinical outcomes.
