Interactive Metronome (IM)
Interactive Metronome (IM) is an evidence-based training and assessment tool designed to improve various cognitive, sensory, and motor skills. It works by having individuals synchronize a range of body movements to a precise computer-generated beat, providing visual and auditory feedback to enhance timing, rhythm, and brain synchronization.
Key Benefits:
Cognitive Improvements: Enhances attention, focus, memory, executive functioning, and comprehension.
Motor Skills: Improves coordination, balance, gait, and overall motor planning.
Speech and Language: Assists with articulation, fluency, and language processing.
Who Can Benefit:
Children: Those with ADHD, autism, sensory processing disorders, learning disabilities, and more.
Adults: Individuals recovering from strokes, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and neurological diseases like Parkinson's and MS.
How It Works:
Sessions: Typically involves multiple sessions where participants engage in exercises synchronized to a metronome beat.
Feedback: Provides real-time feedback to help improve timing and coordination.
