Course Description
Interactive Metronome (IM) is a cutting-edge assessment and treatment tool that improves neural efficiency & synchronization. The human capabilities of attending/focusing, processing information, remembering/learning, reading/writing, speaking/comprehending, controlling behavior & impulses, and coordinating motor movements are integrally linked to how well the brain can process time (temporal processing) and how well regions of the brain can work in unison to perform these tasks (synchronization). Learn how therapists and educators around the world are using IM to improve therapeutic and educational outcomes for individuals with AD/HD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Sensory Processing Disorders, Auditory Processing Disorder, Dyslexia and other reading & learning disorders, Developmental Coordination Disorder, Tourette Syndrome, Traumatic Brain Injury, Stroke, Parkinsons, MS, and more. This course welcomes OT/COTAs, SLP/SLPAs, PT/PTAs, ATCs, Educators, Licensed Rehabilitation, Medical, and Mental Health Professionals, Psychiatrists, Neurologists, Psychologists, and Chiropractic Care Professionals. No prior knowledge of IM is required. This stimulating course includes clinical rationale for addressing neural synchronization/efficiency, candidacy for IM, significant research findings, complete instruction regarding navigation and use of IM software & hardware, and basic application for use with children and adults. Upon completion of the course, participants will be IM certified and will demonstrate working knowledge to begin using the Interactive Metronome with their clients and students.
