Interactive Metronome (IM) is a cutting-edge neurological assessment and treatment tool that is redefining traditional expectations for pediatric and adult therapy outcomes.

IM was developed in the early 1990s and first used to help children with learning and developmental disorders, such as:

• Sensory Integration Disorder
• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Cerebral Palsy
• Non-verbal Learning Disorder
• ADD/ADHD

Through years of clinical research and the efforts of innovative therapists, IM was soon being implemented as part of a therapy program with older patients who also exhibited the same deficits as pediatric patients, such as:

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
• Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA)
• Balance Disorders
• Limb Amputation
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Today, Occupational Therapists, Speech Language Pathologists, Physical Therapists, Educators, Athletic Trainers, Licensed Rehabilitation Medical and Mental Health Professionals Neurologists, Psychiatrists, Psychologists and Chiropractic Care Professionals are enhancing traditional therapy approaches with IM and achieving measurably improved outcomes.
