Clinicians

“The Interactive Metronome provides a long needed and important educational and learning approach to improve a number of critical foundations in the learning process.”

Stanley Greenspan, MD, a leading child psychiatrist and former head of the NIMH is 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 functioning in general.”

Edward Hallowell, MD, author of Driven to Distraction , and leading clinician and speaker on ADHD

“As for the clinical usefulness of the IM, as my intuition originally suggested, I have found the IM to be an extremely helpful intervention for motor planning and sequencing problems. It is helpful in the motor and sequencing aspects of language as well as attention and motor coordination.”

LorRainne Jones , MA , CCC-SLP, PhD, heads Kid Pro Therapy, a speech, occupational and physical therapy center in Tampa , FL and author of the book For Parents and Professionals: Expressive Language Delay

“In our clinical experience, IM training appears to address spatial problems at the neural level – preparing the brain to be receptive to learn – and because of the repetitions, it becomes automatic.”

Barbara Fisher, PhD, a Neuropsychologist and head of Cognitive Precision Therapy

"As occupational therapists, we have found the Interactive Metronome to be a very valuable tool for improving rhythmicity, timing, and sequencing in children and adults with sensory integration problems. Upon completing the IM program, our clients have noticed significant improvements in their coordination, focus and ability to process information."

Parents and Families

"Thank-you for developing the skills that my daughter requires to move
forward with her education and personal goals. The PACE and Master the
Code programs have given her the confidence to try in avenues that
overwhelmed her previously. And with most things, confidence is key.
With having developed the skills to attempt, the workload seems so much
easier! The structure of these programs stimulated her in ways that
continuously kept her interest up. We noted changes in her approach to
difficult tasks within the first month! Sonja, you have been a terrific
teacher, mentor and friend to Bridget. We highly recommend both programs."

Sharleen Luzny, Calgary, AB

"[After IM training] my focus has improved dramatically! I notice it
most by being able to concentrate on multiple tasks at once. This new
found ability has enabled me to remember pretty much anything. I am very
pleased with my results."

Mike Engelhardt, Okotoks, AB

“We'd been through so much.  We'd paid for the tutors.  We had done the piano lessons and violin lessons, because of what research says about that.  What were we supposed to do now?  We had done everything.  After giving Interactive Metronome a try, I soon began to see a change in my daughter.  She went from bringing home F's in Algebra to bringing home A's and B's.  She went from failing the FCAT to passing it.  She even made the A-B Honor Roll.  It's been amazing. No tutors, no more asking for help with homework- none of that.”

A parent of a child with ADHD

"What a positive experience that was well worth the time! Our son has shown so much improvement in his confidence regarding school that now, even when something is difficult, he does not shutdown. He tries a lot harder because he now knows he can be successful. We highly recommend the PACE and Master the Code programs."

Mr. and Mrs. Telehanic, Calgary, AB

"We feel that PACE has helped Thomas tremendously to concentrate better and he is much more motivated and less hesitant to approach weaknesses to see how far he can go by himself, with his new skills. Thomas has derived great self-satisfaction, new motivation and greater confidence in approaching all school subjects. We thoroughly recommend Sonja and the PACE program."

Phillipa and Buster Moult for Thomas Moult, Calgary, AB

"Our daughter has improved in her reading and word attack and she really enjoyed having Sonja as her teacher. Sonja really made our daughter feel comfortable and eager to try hard. We really found the program diverse in its approach to helping find different ways to help the student achieve success in their weaknesses. Thank you Sonja, Kristen is on the right path to success in her education!"

Mrs. Carol Desabrais, Calgary, AB

Academics and Sports

“I've made big improvements in my shot accuracy after training with Interactive Metronome”

Vijay Singh, Ranked #1 PGA Golfer

“At Syracuse , the lacrosse program is concerned with training which develops our student-athletes both for the demands of the classroom and of playing the fastest sport. We believe the IM training system to be an outstanding way to improve timing, concentration and focus no matter what the distractions.”

Coach John Desko, Syracuse University

“St. Bernadette has committed additional students for IM training based on the success we have seen in improved academic performance. For example, an 8 th grader achieved honour role distinction for the first time in his career.”

Mary Ellen Letvinchuk, Principal, Bernadette Catholic School
