What is interactive metronome® (IM)?


IM synchronizes the nervous system’s neural networks vital for:

  • Auditory processing

  • Expressive & Receptive language

  • Reading (competency/fluency/rate)

  • Coordination & Balance (fine & gross motor)

  • Mental processing speed

  • Attention

  • Working Memory

  • Learning

  • Executive function

  • Sensory processing

  • Self-control

  • Handwriting

  • Speech & language

Increased synchronization = Increased efficiency and speed of communication along the brain’s white matter tracts = Improvement in cognitive, communicative, sensory & motor skills.

What do you do?

Repetition is required to make lasting, functional changes in the brain.

Aim for 3 sessions per week with 30 minutes of active training per session (this ends up being 1400-1600 reps per session).

Sessions can be completed in your home with support from Kelsey. Interactive Metronome can be facilitated in-home, virtually, via Zoom with an Interactive Metronome Home-Unit!
