Every function of the brain requires precise timing. Interactive Metronome is a researched based treatment tool that helps improve this mental timing. The primary areas of observed change are associated with ADHD type symptoms and executive function. Potential areas of improvement include increased attention/concentration, being able to tune out distractions in a working environment, improved processing speed, working memory, multi-tasking and organization. IM also works to improve transitions, observed by an increased ability to shift gears moving from one task to another.
IM is performed by listening to a steady metronome beat, accompanied by hand and foot movements. The goal is to match the movement to the sound. Immediate feedback is given via an interactive video, allowing the participants to assess their performance in real time. At Authentic Healing, Interactive Metronome is considered on a case-by-case basis for compatibility and length of protocol.
