ADHD Study A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 9 to 12-year-old boys diagnosed with ADHD found those who completed the IM program showed significant patterns of improvement in attention, coordination, control of aggression/impulsivity, reading and language processing. This study was published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy, March 2001.
Motor Control Study A comparison of IM-trained special education students to a control group found the IM-trained group improved significantly in both motor control and motor coordination as measured by independent assessments (Bruininks-Oseretsky and SIPT Motor Accuracy Test) compared to the control group. Parents of the IM-trained group also reported marked improvement in their children’s ability to attend to tasks, read, write and general behavior.
(Stemmer, P.M. (1996) “Improving Student Motor Integration by Use of an Interactive Metronome” presented at the 1996 Annual Meeting of the American Educational Association in Chicago, IL.)
Timing in Child Development Study A correlation study of 585 children in a public school district found significant correlations between IM score and academic performance in reading, mathematics, language, science, social studies, and study skills. This suggests that timing and rhythmicity play a foundational role in the cognitive processes underlying performance in these academic areas. The results were published by the High/Scope Foundation, a prestigious, non-profit educational research institution. |
