Advanced Treatment for Auditory Processing Disorders
With Interactive Metronome, patients experience a goal-based approach to improved motor sequencing and language processing including auditory processing and reading comprehension in as little as 15 hours. This program can be used with all ages.
An interactive approach. Used in more than 1,700 hospitals and clinics nationwide, Interactive Metronome is a computer-based program that takes advantage of the brain’s neuro-plasticity to improve attention, motor planning, and sequencing ability.
How it Works. During one-on-one sessions, patients in the IM program wear headphones and two sensors on the hands and feet. Thirteen different exercises can be performed, during which the patient listens to a cowbell and must hit the sensor in time to the tone. Response time is measured in milliseconds, allowing for precise measurement. The results are displayed visually on the screen and by sound through the headphones. The variety of the exercises and the graphics and sound quality keep the student motivated, and the program can be individualized further with fun additions.
 The high number of repetitions in IM treatment results in the improvement of brain processing the creation of permanent changes in behavior. The end result is improved language and processing for patients diagnosed with:
- Auditory Processing Disorders
- ADD/ADHD
- Apraxia
- ASD
- Aphasia
