Various evidence based interventions are used in a school based setting during my fieldwork.  Many of the interventions were to help increase attention in the classroom.  Depending on the reasons for the inattention interventions such as providing heavy work, weighted vests and hats, fidgets, sitting on stability balls, and making changes to seating.  Interactive Metronome is used to address a variety of issues including problems with attention, impulsive behaviors, visual and/or auditory processing, and body awareness.  Interactive Metronome has research that supports its use with a variety of diagnoses.  The school also use an inclusive model of practice which is supported by research.  In this model, interventions are provided in a student's environment to allow for greater carryover.
