Interactive Metronome®

How can Interactive Metronome® help me, or my child?

Poor processing speed affects many children, and finding the right tools to help can change a child's trajectory.

Interactive Metronome® (IM) helps the brain keep to its internal timing. This timing is known as temporal processing. Measuring microseconds and milliseconds to hours is done by the brain's temporal processing.

Temporal processing is responsible for detecting where a sound is coming from as sound hits one ear microseconds before the other, for waking up and putting to sleep our brain every 12 hours or so, and for focusing attention, reading comprehension, remembering information, processing speech, motor coordination, and along with other activities.

 Interactive Metronome® analyses the timing in milliseconds of how accurately a child can react to a constant beat. With carefully adaptive lessons, the child slowly increases speed, and the delays decrease. Increasing temporal processing speed impacts better communication between the regions in the brain.

 Interactive Metronome®’s game-like auditory-visual platform engages the child and provides constant feedback at the millisecond level to promote synchronised timing in the brain.  Interactive Metronome® is evidence-based with over 300 published research studies.

If you know your child is delayed in motor movement, speech, processing or you want to improve their/your executive functioning skills, then this program is the right tool to help.

It builds the three domains for effective processing:

• Motor planning – hands, feet, hand and feet using dominant and non-dominant sides of the body.

• Cognitive – listening, rhythmic, sequencing skills.

• Emotional –improving temporal processing means better executive functioning and emotional control

Beneficial for children with:

•    Executive Functioning Disorder

•     Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

•      Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

•      Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)

•      Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)

•      Speech and language delays

•     Poor sequence, timing and slow processing speeds.

It can also help neurotypical children improve performance in school, sports, and daily routines.
