A Computer based on program developed initially to help improve the timing of professional musicians and athletes. This program is now used with children as well as adults to improve rhythm, coordination, timing and the ability to process and sequence actions.
The trainee is given feedback through headphones that tells them how "on beat" they are. The feedback guides the trainee and helps exercise and improve their timing and ability to plan actions.
Interactive Metronome (IM) is used for children that have difficulty with attention, impulsivity, motor planning, sequencing and timing of movement and bilateral coordination deficits.
IM helps develop automatic control of movement, increase attention, and improve motor planning skill. Improvement in the above areas helps with smooth, coordinated completion of daily tasks, decreased aggression and improves focus.
