The Interactive Metronome therapy has over ten years of extensive research from George Washington University Medical School and other universities, and is a patented, interactive training system that measures and improves a person’s rhythm and timing. Since the brain learns and builds pathways through repetition of precise activities, keeping the beat along with the Interactive Metronome “trains the brain” to plan, sequence and process information more effectively.
Anyone with challenges in with stroke and brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, ADHD, cognitive and developmental disorders, as well as those interested in improving academic and sports performance can benefit from the Interactive Metronome. More information can be found here.

When turning into the campus from Walnut Hill, the best route of entry may be the driveway prior to the light.
