  1. Interactive Metronome®Pediatric Specialist CoachingModule 1: Overview and Foundations By Mary Jones, OTR/L, DipCOT Sensational Kids, LLC Brain Focus International, Inc.

  2. Program Outline • Module 1: Pediatric Overview and Foundations • Module 2: Modifying IM to Pediatric Populations • Module 3: Motivational Strategies • Module 4: Teaching Auditory Association Skills • Module 5: Building relationships – Allowing control, switch choices and access. • Module 6: Interpreting Data • Module 7: Setting up Individualized Pediatric Treatment Plans with IM: Case Examples. • Module 8: Special Considerations – IM training plans with infant-toddlers or clients with decreased cognitive capabilities. • Module 9: Use of IM Systems in Group and Social Settings • Module 10: Moving Forward – Incorporating IM-Home into your pediatric best practices.

  3. Outcome Goals for Module 1 • Developing the art of ‘thinking outside the box’ with IM • Overview of IM use within the diversity of pediatrics • Getting started – Setting up of equipment/ environments • The Key to IM success – Learning to Modify! • Positioning that can be used with IM – Review of Examples • Review of Module 1 Learning Outcomes.

  4. Thinking ‘outside of the box’ • Use of professional judgment and creativity to modify IM programming – we are a diverse group! • Developing the flexibility skills to effectively utilize IM as a treatment/training tool • Becoming comfortable thinking ‘outside of the box’ • Taking the principles of the Interactive Metronome® System and consider them for all aspects of pediatric services and performance programs.

  5. Why IM in Peds? • Timing is critical for the discrimination of sensory stimuli (Shannon et al., 1995; Buonomano and Karmarkar, 2002; Ivry and Spencer, 2004; Buhusi and Meck, 2005) • Timing is critical for the generation of coordinated motor responses (Mauk and Ruiz, 1992; Ivry, 1996; Meegan et al., 2000; Medina et al., 2005). • The nervous system processes temporal information over a wide range, from microseconds to circadian rhythms (Carr, 1993; Mauk and Buonomano, 2004; Buhusi and Meck, 2005).

  6. Applying IM to the diversity of Pediatrics • Educational • Therapeutic • Peak Performance • Recreational • Extra-curricular • Lifestyle • Wellness

  7. Educational • Low Self Esteem • Struggling with academics • Anxiety • Reactive • Poor motor planning • Difficulty finding their own ‘Rhythm’ or ‘Still point’ • Eager to please • Difficulty ‘tuning in’ • Difficulty keeping track of time • Survival reactions • Chronic adrenal stress • Disorganized • Clumsy • Difficulty ‘connecting the dots’ • Poor listening skills • ‘Quick to quit’

  8. Therapeutic • Attention Deficit Disorder (314.0; 314.01) • Asperger’s Syndrome (299.0) • Ataxia (438.84; 334.3; 331.89) • Autism (299.0) • Developmental Delays (315.9) • Dyspraxia (315.4) • Dyslexia (315.02) • Lack of Coordination (781.3) • Speech and Language delays (315.3) • Auditory Processing Disorders (388.45; 315.32) • Unspecified Disorders of the Central Nervous System (349.9) • Hemiplegia (342; 343.1) • Pervasive Developmental Delay (299.9) • Developmental Coordination Disorder (315.4) • Abnormal Posture (781.92) • Loss of Limb (755.4) • Abnormality of Gait (781.2) • Difficulty in Walking (719.7) • Orthotic Training (V57.41) • Feeding Difficulties (783.3; 307.59; 779.3; 783.41) • Dysphagia (787.42) • Articulation (315.39; 524.27) • Muscle Weakness (728.87; 780.79) • Tourette’s Disorder (307.23; 333.3) • Anxiety (300.0)

  9. Peak Performance • Speed -  focuses on developing starting speed and maximizing top end speed. Utilization of plyometrics and speed training techniques to maximize performance. • Agility – focuses on developing coordination, foot speed, reactive ability, and quickness. Utilization of sport specific movement pattern drills, plyometrics, and various mobility training equipment. • Conditioning – focuses on developing sport specific fitness by combining creative training methods with traditional conditioning equipment. • Strength – focuses on teaching proper resistance training techniques for a variety of sport specific exercises with emphasis on core.

  10. Recreational • Effective use of free time • Personal development of ‘self’ • Socially acceptable activities • PLAY! • Keeping up with peers • Ability to engage, socialize, plan, follow-through

  11. Lifestyle • Choices • Opportunities • Exposure • Tolerance

  12. Extra-Curricular • Sports • Drama • Music • Voice • Dance • Clubs • Societies • Cultural

  13. Wellness • Mental Endurance • Mental Attitude • Stress Management • Focused Attention • Sleep

  14. The Key to IM Success: • Modify for Engagement! • Be Spontaneous for Novelty! • Increase Repetition for Synaptic Growth!

  15. Techniques for success • Positioning alternatives • Physical Environment • Sensory Environment • Motivation Strategies • Tempo/Timing variance • Feedback Strategies • Interpreting Data • Pacing of activities and themes • Duration of tasks and sessions • Building Relationships – allowing control • Switch choices and Access

  16. Set Up - Equipment

  17. Positioning: Upright Stance UPRIGHT STANCE: Extensor tone; balance; visual orientation; praxis. • Modify with variance of surface/texture/height/size of base/footwear.

  18. Half Kneeling HALF KNEELING • Core strengthening • Pelvic segmentation • Upper body/lower body integration • Proprioceptive body-in-space awareness • Reflex integration • Bilateral integration (praxis) MODIFY: • Surfaces/textures/heights/stability/alternate knees

  19. Modify Base of Support • Alter points of stability and mobility • Upper extremities: Clap High-Clap Low • Adapt lower extremity movement sequence • Side step and clap on the beat • Match tempo of music piece or sing to the beat

  20. Round Sitting ROUND SITTING: • Pelvic and shoulder girdle alignment • Posture and positional awareness (grounded) • Upper body strengthening • Pelvic shift and core balance • Diaphragmatic breathing

  21. Dynamic Postures DYNAMIC POSTURES: • Proprioceptive awareness • Core stability and shift • Visual orientation • Strengthening • Praxis EXAMPLES: • Ball sit • Stool sit • Bench sit • Bolster sit (astride) • Cube sit • Rocking chair

  22. Supine/Lying Down SUPINE TIME: • Facilitates proprioceptive awareness (firm surface) • Decreases demands on motor planning • Work up against gravity • Reflex integration: Supine flexion

  23. Prone/Tummy Time Modifications: • Floor (good for sensory feedback • Floor mat/different textures • Inverted/under/over PRONE/TUMMY TIME: • Strengthening shoulder girdle • Hip flexor stretch • Facilitate co-contraction to flexor/extensor core stability • Visual-motor integration • Reflex integration

  24. Review of Module 1 Learning Objectives • IM is used as a training tool across multiple domains and disciplines within pediatrics. • Professional judgment and creativity are required to provide optimum outcomes in pediatric IM programs. • Modification is key to provide a customized approach to each individual. • Pediatrics is diverse – so too is the application of IM to this population!
