Dr. Jerry A. Iavarone Offers Drug-Free ADHD Treatment for Children and Adults

WOOD DALE, Ill., April 03, 2016 -- Dr. Jerry A. Iavarone offers a drug-free therapy called Interactive Metronome Therapy to improve attention, focus, and concentration in children and adults suffering from a number of conditions including ADHD and sensory processing issues. This therapy works to improve cognitive, behavioral, social and motor skills as well as sports performance.  The computer-based technology used in this treatment encourages users to match computer-generated rhythms, thereby improving their internal sense of timing.

When the brain’s timing malfunctions due to a disconnection like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), sensory processing disorders, or learning disabilities, the physical, mental and emotional symptoms can be difficult to overcome.

Dr. Jerry Iavarone is trained in treating children with ADHD, Asperger’s, Sensory Processing Disorder, as well as other learning disabilities. By incorporating functional neurology and Interactive Metronome, Dr. Iavarone and his team treat patients who exhibit difficulties at school. For those who experience negative side effects of medication, especially for ADHD, this drug-free therapy offers an alternative to prescription medication.

Dr. Iavarone offers a unique treatment plan designed to fit each patient’s needs. The patient begins treatment with an initial assessment, which analyzes neurologic components such as primitive reflexes, eye movements, balance and brain timing. The results provide the framework for treatment and Interactive Metronome training.

“Not only can those with these disorders benefit from our services, we also help athletes improve their performance and those who have sustained concussions,” says Dr. Iavarone. “Brain timing is the essence of everything.” Athletes can benefit from brain timing to improve their focus and attention, ability to concentrate for long periods of time, block out distractions, increase their timing skills and remain engaged. Additionally, the treatment has shown to demonstrate improved rhythm, coordination and balance.

Interactive Metronome involves the principles of traditional musical metronome, combined with the precision of a highly advanced software platform, to create engaging interactive training exercises. The program records the patient’s timing at the millisecond level, providing instant results, which are essential in guiding improvement. This program uses a reference tone and guided sounds, along with hand and foot sensors to coordinate movements to computer-generated musical beats. Like training wheels on a bicycle, a patented auditory guidance system progressively challenges participants to improve their motor planning, sequencing and rhythmic timing performance. Dr. Iavarone develops a protocol specific for the individual and targets the hemisphere of the brain with deficiencies.
