How IM Works
Interactive Metronome (IM) is a brain training program that helps kids improve focus, coordination, and timing. During sessions, they tap their hands or feet in rhythm with a beat while wearing headphones and motion sensors. The system gives instant feedback to help them stay on beat, which strengthens how the brain handles timing.
This kind of training can boost attention, memory, and self-control, especially helpful for kids with ADHD, autism, or learning challenges like dyslexia. IM also supports reading, language, and motor skills, all through fun, game-like activities that keep kids engaged.

How is Interactive Metronome Different?
Interactive Metronome includes a large variety of fun and interactive games that will enhance overall engagement, motivation, and improve outcomes for your child.
The training is customized to address the specific needs of each child, with adjustable settings that can be modified to provide an appropriate level of challenge or ease during the training process.
Through the course of training, a child engages in tens of thousands of repetitions, fostering enduring changes in brain function. This extensive repetition helps solidify and reinforce improvements in the child’s brain.
Providing immediate feedback in real-time after each hit allows the child to gauge whether they were too fast, too slow, or on target, promoting improved internal timing and synchronization within the brain.

Success Stories
I contacted Peaks Coaching when my family was out of ideas on how to help my teenage son reach his potential in high school. He desperately wanted to improve his grades, his focus, his ability to concentrate and stay engaged with his schoolwork for more than 10mins at a time. Over the last 2 years he has participated in weekly Executive Functioning Coaching and recently completed the Metronome program. It was a lot of work and commitment but we all agree, including my son, that we’d do it all again. His concentration and ability to focus has improved tremendously! He gained amazing skills in being able to plan ahead for schoolwork. He can now outline steps for studying and completing projects on a calendar so he’s not cramming at the last minute. His grades have improved and most importantly he’s proud of his work and himself. 10 out of 10 I would recommend Peaks Coaching to anyone who’s child is struggling with focus, planning or concentration. They are easy to work with and their communication is top notch.

I can’t say enough great things about Peak Academic Coaching. My 20 year old daughter has been ADHD since the 2nd grade. When it came time to transition into college, she really struggled without the structure of high school. She started working with a coach and began doing the Interactive Metronome therapy. Six months after starting the coaching and therapy, she was diagnosed as being on the Autistic Spectrum. The IM therapy has been so good for her. It’s really made a difference in her awareness. And the coaching has been such a huge help with her confidence. It’s taken time, but she’s made great strides with the help she’s received from Peak!

My family used the metronome to help fine tune our mental focus. We all feel that using this program greatly increased our abilities to focus for longer periods and think more quickly and clearly.
Susan Peacock
My son have been taking Interactive Metronome therapy for over a year. While progress may sometimes seem gradual, the positive changes speak volumes about the efficacy of Interactive Metronome program. The fact that My son is becoming more aware of his environment and gaining independence is truly a blessing. Moreover, noticing my son’s inner sweet spirit emerging is a testament to the transformative power of Interactive Metronome Therapy.
Adeola Akinsola
My daughter is 12 years old and has been working with Peak for about 3 months using the Interactive Metronome. Within 3 weeks we started to notice that her executive function of her brain was on fire! She for example choose to teach herself for her science fair project 2 musical instruments and on her own accomplished her goal. She, on her own, has completed a program to read the whole Bible( 1 hours per day) in 90 days. I am very grateful for the guidance and encouragement from Peak, they are the best!
Maria-Elena Bove
Peak Academic Coaching and Interactive Metronome has helped my daughter tremendously. She has ADD and she struggled academically and socially. Since she joined the program, she is more focused now and she doesn’t spend long time studying and doing her homework. Before Interactive Metronome she used to stay up all night studying and doing her homework. She has enough time to sleep now, because she finishes her work fast. It helped her to retain what is being learned faster and better. She is also more patient and less stressed when it comes with social gatherings etc. I also don’t have to tell her when it comes doing her house chores. I would highly recommend Peak Academic Coaching and Interactive Metronome program.
