Interactive Metronome is a computer-based treatment approach that is effective in increasing focus and attention, increasing physical endurance and stamina, filtering out internal and external distractions, improving the person’s ability to monitor mental and physical actions, and improving coordinated performance. When using Interactive Metronome™, children hear a metronome beat and attempt to match the beat whilst performing a number of physical actions.
At MoveAbout, Interactive Metronome is used in a fun but challenging way to engage kids in the learning process. Children may play patty-cake with their therapist or come up with dance moves in time to the beat. Therapy has never been so fun!
Interactive Metronome™ may be implemented in an intensive, programmed approach where appropriate, but is commonly also used as a supporting tool within therapy sessions to enhance the organisation and sequencing of actions at different stages in this child’s progress.
Children who have benefitted from Interactive Metronome™ include (but are not limited to) children with:
- Sensory Integration Disorder, including dyspraxia
- ADD/ADHD
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Cerebral Palsy
- Non-verbal Learning Disorder
- Balance Disorders
