Myomancy ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism

Dr. Kevin McGrew who runs the Intelligence Testing blog is an expert in intelligence and how it should be tested. He has recently worked on a paper looking at Interactive Metronome’s impact on academic performance. By his own admission he was very skeptical of it in the beginning but having reviewed all the evidence for his paper he is impressed: "Students in the experimental group participated in a 4 week intervention designed to improve their timing/rhythmicity … The intervention required, on average, 15 daily 50 minute sessions, The results from this non-academic intervention indicate the experimental group’s post-test scores on select measures of reading and mathematics were significantly higher than the non-treatment control group’s scores at the end of 4 weeks."
This is a great result for Interactive Metronome and the whole field of non-academic intervention in learning difficulties. It is a clear demonstration that academic performance is strongly influenced by how well the child can move and coordinate their body.
It must be pointed out, because Kevin is a stickler for these things, that Kevin and his colleagues where paid to perform the study by Interactive Metronome. The full paper has not yet been published but you can read Kevin’s post:  Mental time keeping
