Developmental Delays

Strengthening Brain Connections for Growth, Timing & Confidence

​

At Precision Brain Training™, we understand that developmental delays affect more than milestones—they impact self-esteem, communication, movement, and learning. Using Interactive Metronome® (IM), we support children and teens with global and specific developmental delays by helping their brains coordinate better timing, movement, and focus.

 

\ What Is a Developmental Delay?

​

A developmental delay occurs when a child does not reach typical milestones in one or more areas, such as:

• Gross motor skills (e.g., walking, climbing)

• Fine motor skills (e.g., using utensils, drawing)

• Speech and language

• Cognitive and problem-solving skills

• Social-emotional regulation

These challenges may result from genetic conditions, prematurity, birth trauma, neurological disorders, or unknown causes—but timing and coordination between brain areas is often affected.

​

 

The Brain’s Timing Network

​

For development to progress, the brain must communicate clearly across multiple regions. IM helps improve this internal timing, activating areas responsible for:

Brain Region Function IM Impact

Cerebellum Movement, rhythm, motor learning Improves balance, coordination

Prefrontal Cortex Focus, planning, inhibition Supports attention and self-regulation

Corpus Callosum Communication between brain sides and strengthens bilateral integration

Motor Cortex Physical movement patterns Enhances gross/fine motor planning

Temporal Lobes Language Comprehension Aids in receptive and expressive language

​

How IM Helps Children with Developmental Delays

​

IM is ideal for supporting neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to change and grow. With rhythmic feedback, children develop:

✅ Improved balance and posture
✅ Better coordination for walking, running, climbing
✅ More fluid hand movements for writing, eating, dressing
✅ Increased focus and attention span
✅ Support for language timing (essential for speech clarity and understanding)
✅ Greater confidence and participation in school, play, and therapy

 

 Results Families Notice

​

✔️ Catching up on milestones
✔️ Less frustration with motor tasks
✔️ Improved imitation and sequencing
✔️ More participation in play and classroom settings
✔️ Better transitions and task completion
✔️ Smiles, confidence, and success in everyday routines

 

 A Custom Plan for Every Child

​

We work closely with families and therapists to design a safe, individualized IM plan. Sessions may include:

• Seated or standing exercises

• Simple bilateral movement tasks

• Sensory-friendly adaptations

• Use of IM’s In Motion™ activities for added gross motor input

• Collaboration with your OT, PT, or SLP
