GrowNOW ADHD Professional Development &
Trainings

“The BEST Professional Development I have ever attended in over 50 years of teaching!”

For Professionals & Educators

GrowNOW Executive Function Training

The purpose of the training is solely educational and to spread awareness; GrowNOW ADHD, LLC does NOT advertise its services during this training.

Executive Function is the basis of all learning, yet educators and school leadership staff receive minimal training on the broad topic. Why?

GrowNOW Executive Function Training can provide the solution for your school’s culture and curriculum.

You will learn:

  • Misconceptions and outdated views of Executive Functions.
  • The most up-to-date research on the topic and what Executive Functions truly are.
  • Practical exercises, strategies, and practices that can be easily implemented to ensure Executive Functions become a daily part of each child’s educational journey.

All training is tailored to the unique audience – the staff, the children and families they serve, and their culture and values.

There is no learning, growth, and independence without Executive Function – it’s crucial we bring this into education!

GrowNOW ADHD Executive Function Training Feedback

Interesting Shift!

It was interesting to shift the framing of ADHD from an attention disorder to a performance disorder and the focus on long-term internal skill building vs. external changes (ie: cleaning out backpacks, using agendas, giving prompts). It was interesting to think about the true predictors of success being the ability to independently form and maintain…

Empowering

I’ve been in education for almost 20 years and have never attended a more relevant staff PD. Being able to better understand and support students, families, loved ones, or ourselves is empowering. Thanks again for spending the day with is and giving us the knowledge to make a difference.

Yes!

This presentation was extremely informative and included a different way to think and talk about ADHD’s underlying problem which is a dis- function of executive functioning skills or that ADHD is a performance disorder. I like, “What you say starts to control what you do.” and I like looking at executive functioning as “mental play”- because that’s a positive way to approaching people with ADHD rather than talking about what they cannot do. I enjoyed the presenter’s energy and his straight forward explanations, examples, and ways to use our expertise during intervention. Great job!

Mind Blown!

The world needs to know ALL of THIS!! NOW! This really spoke to me as an adult with ADHD, neurodiversity, fixed mindset, anxiety, high sensitivity, etc. who has a child and a parent with all of these same characteristics. **This is why so many young adults continue to live at home! They are parent and prompt-dependent! Right?? I will be watching this seminar several more times! (You know, because of MY ADHD! – Lol!) Thank You!!”

A Highlight of the Year

Your presence and presentations to our teachers, staff, and parents was a highlight of our WLES 2022-23 school year! Thank you for taking the time to create thoughtful content for us, and for allowing us to follow up with you.

One of my fav sessions!

Incredible speaker, easy to listen to! Thank you for sharing your very useful ideas and information! I love the idea of making a mental movie before each session! I also loved the connection made between the importance of learning to play early on so that the student can learn to play in his/her mind and create scenarios to help him/her function as they get older!

Best session yet!

Wow, this session blew my mind! In an hour, my understanding of executive function has shifted. Wonderful information that I can take an implement tomorrow. Many thanks to this presenter.

Thankful!

Mr. McLeod offered a concise and very informative presentation on ADHD. He gave many good ideas for therapy sessions and everyday living. I will definitely benefit from this presentation as an SLP who has a granddaughter with ADHD!! Thank you.
