IM (Interactive Metronome)

The Need

The ability to plan and sequence motor actions, rhythmicity and timing is an important component of adaptive skills. These skills include:

coordination
basic thinking
organizing
planning capacities
sequencing of actions and ideas.

Motor planning and sequencing problems are many times part of a variety of developmental and learning challenges including:

dyspraxia and motor problems
language difficulties
attentional challenges
cognitiive problems
sensory integration challenges.

The solution

The Interactive Metronome (IM) is a computer based technology that enables individuals to directly exercise and improve motor planning and sequencing.

Hand and foot sensors are used to objectively measure a user's planning and sequencing performance during a variety of tapping exercises.

The format of the program provides a structured, graduated, goal oriented training process that can easily be used by children as well as adults.

The entire program can be completed over a 3 to 5 week period.

IM-Home is now available.

IM-Home is available to clients who want to continue their IM therapy in the comfort of their homes.

It is especially for those clients who:

have limited time in their busy schedules to drive to the clinic.
live far from Thinkers.
may benefit from extended sessions in order to meet their functional goals.
are looking for a more cost effective way to do IM Therapy.

IM-Home is not meant to replace a patients time with their provider.

IM-Home helps maintain that provider/client relationship in the following ways:

The IM-Home is only sold to patients that are connected with an IM-Home Specialist.
The IM-Home Specialist provides the client with a username and password enable IM-Home use.
The IM Home Specialist establishes an individual home exercise program that the client is to follow.
