Interactive Metronome®
Do you know a child who is having problems paying attention in school or at home? Consider a simple computer assessment with the Interactive Metronome® (IM). This free timing assessment is available through Arkansas Pediatric Therapy Services in Van Buren, AR.  Interactive Metronome® is a computer-based therapy that improves motor planning, timing and sequencing, all of which are considered fundamental capacities for learning and performance. The one-minute assessment uses headphones, hand and foot sensors to determine how closely a participant responds to computer-generated musical beats. An IM training program may be beneficial to children who score outside of the normal range.
