"The best he's done in FIVE YEARS. I'm crying."
"When I say that he has done a 180....I am not exaggerating. I had his conferences this past week. For the first time EVER he passed EVERY class with a C and above. Finished with NO missing assignments!"
"You know you guys are actually helping me. It may not seem like it but it's working."
"For the first time in a decade or more my son left all this electronics downstairs and went up to his room and read game of thrones for two hours
I could cry
I'm not kidding"
"“There has been a noticeable difference in your son in the last year and we're unsure what has brought on this big change.” This was the consensus at my last IEP meeting, and the mysterious cause for the big change was GrowNOW."
"My son was very reluctant and had a full on fit right before. But after about 5 mins, he was all in."
"The parenting training piece with @grownowadhd has been a GAMECHANGER for us. Our son has tools and more importantly we have tools."
"Our experience with GrowNow is the first time we have received true, action oriented solutions for specific behaviors and situations."

Book a keynoteCharts, alarms, and constant prompting work only while someone is standing there. The GrowNOW Internal Skills Model coaches your child to build their own internal language, the self-talk that starts, sticks with, and finishes things from the inside.
Noticing what is happening in the moment, and that it is time to act.
Managing emotions and impulses instead of being run by them.
Starting the non-preferred task without a chase or a bribe.
Checking their own work against what done actually looks like.
Nonverbal working memory, visual imagery, and helpful self-talk that guides action. The goal is simple, they do more, you prompt less.
Being a strong student, getting the work done, and earning the grades they are capable of.
The most common one. Self-regulation with parents and siblings, and starting, persisting with, and finishing non-preferred, non-screen tasks.
Perspective-taking, reading the room, and situational awareness. Not eye-contact drills.
You do not need to struggle in all three to have ADHD or executive function delays. most families see themselves in one or two.
Talk therapy isn't working, screens are taking over, and nothing seems to make a real difference.
Managing behavior, emotions, and academics without enough time, training, or support.
Overwhelmed, misunderstood, and expected to know things no one has ever taught them.
The cycle keeps repeating, and no one feels like it is working.
Our kids deserve better!
That is the whole reason GrowNOW exists. Real skills, built from the inside, so the progress shows up at home and school, not just in session.
Whatever brought you here, there is a specific program for it, and every one of them runs on the same Internal Skills Model.
