About GrowNOW ADHD

ADHD & Executive Function Specialists

Our Background

The GrowNOW ADHD Mission

GrowNOW is Unique, Engaging, and DIFFERENT

We are dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of ADHD by providing expert guidance and compassionate support through life’s critical stages.

Many families have been through several unsuccessful approaches in the past – wasting time and money. At GrowNOW, we focus on relationships, experiences, and our Internal Skills Model.

We never take a one-size-fits-all approach based on age, gender, diagnostic label, etc. We look at each student and family as a unique individual.

Using the GrowNOW Internal Skills Coaching Model®, we develop an individualized plan for each student to strengthen their internal skill system. We also focus deeply on parent coaching and training to ensure these skills are transferred into the home environment as quickly as possible.

The goal is to improve their overall quality of life and help them become more independent, positive, and successful in their day-to-day lives with fading adult support by strengthening these skills and providing these students with the tools, experiences, and relationships they need.
