Each person has varying abilities to perform tasks requiring timing, planning and sequencing. Research has shown that those abilities form the foundation of many other human abilities such as: motor planning and performance; concentration and focus; control of aggression and hyperactivity, and cognitive planning and processing.

Further research and experience have shown that these fundamental capacities can be trained and improved upon, which in turn, may improve higher functional capacities. The goal of Interactive Metronome (IM) treatment is to bring about lasting improvements in an individual’s fundamental informational processing, planning and sequencing, and attention capacities. Individual goals of IM treatment will vary from person to person based upon individual needs and functional goals.
