- �Attention, learning and problem solving depend in part on the ability to plan and
sequence actions and ideas. The Interactive Metronome® helps individuals systematically
exercise and often improve basic motor planning and sequencing capacities.�

Greenspan MD, a noted child psychiatrist and ex-head of the NIMH is Chairman of IM�s
Scientific Advisory Board.
- �The Interactive Metronome® is spectacularly helpful. It is one of the most promising
developments with non-medication of ADHD that's come along in a long while... This
is really solid, extremely helpful non-medication (intervention) not only for ADHD
but for mental functioning in general.�
Edward Hallowell MD, author of Driven
to Distraction, and leading clinician and speaker on ADHD
- The Interactive Metronome �has shown great promise in kids with Attention Deficit
Disorder.�

- �As for the clinical usefulness of the IM, as my intuition originally suggested,
I have found the IM to be an extremely helpful intervention for motor planning and
sequencing problems.It is helpful in the motor and sequencing aspects of language
as well as attention and motor coordination.�

- �In our clinical experience, IM training appears to address spatial problems at the
neural level � preparing the brain to be receptive to learn � and because of the
repetitions it becomes automatic.�
Barbara Fisher, PhD, a Neuropsychologist
and head of Cognitive Precision Therapy
- "As occupational therapists, we have found the Interactive Metronome to be a
very valuable tool for improving rhythmicity, timing and sequencing in children and
adults with sensory integration problems. Upon completing the IM program, our clients
have noticed significant improvements in their coordination, focus and ability to
process information."
