Interactive Metronome® (IM) Training
A brain-based rehabilitation and training program developed to directly improve the processing abilities that affect attention, motor planning and sequencing. This, in turn, strengthens motor skills, including mobility, gross motor function and many fundamental cognitive capacities such as planning organizing and language.
This training modality is available to adults, children and athletes. IM has been particularly focused on students having a variety of diagnosis such as, ADHD, Autism, Autistic Spectrum Disorders and Emotional/Behavioral Disorder. In the adult realm, current research documents showed improved symptoms in Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Traumatic Brain Injury, Stroke, as well as in performance enhancement for athletes. Case studies have also have shown success with improving process speed and working memory in aging adults.
IM Home Program and e-Clinic
Additionally, as an IM-Home Certified Provider, once the initial training phase is complete, training can be continued at home through the e-clinic. This program is designed for those with long term training needs, those who may have challenges traveling, or perhaps would prefer to train more often or on a more flexible schedule. Training plans can be developed and supervised through my office, to continue on-going training for students/clients to complete in the comfort of their home.
