Motor-Planning and Sequencing Training
The Interactive Metronome® Programme
The Interactive Metronome® Programme is used by over 2500 therapists in the US and Canada and was introduced into the UK in 2003. It is appropriate for children of at least 7 years.
Difficulties with motor planning, sequencing and timing have been associated with many developmental, behavioural and learning challenges. The programme has been shown to be an effective non-
How Does IM Work?
Using hand and foot sensors in combination with various prescribed exercises, the individual attempts to match clapping/tapping responses to a computer generated metronome beat using an audio and visual guidance system to increasingly improve performance. Very significant gains in timing ability are normally achieved.
Who Is IM Appropriate For?
The IM programme is ideally appropriate following an INPP programme or where on assessment, the child does not have a profile of primitive reflexes and is shown on the initial IM® long -form assessment to have poor motor-planning, timing and sequencing skills. As well as benefiting those facing learning challenges it is also used to promote academic and athletic peak performance. The programme normally involves 15 - 1 hour training sessions over 3-5 weeks.

Potentially how helpful is IM?
“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.”
Stanley Greenspan, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Behavioral Sciences, and Pediatrics at George Washington University Medical School, Child Psychiatrist and 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 function in in general.”
Edward Hallowell, MD, author of “Driven to Distraction”, and leading clinician and speaker on ADHD
