“… When I heard that Mike was doing work around executive functioning, I was quick to presume that he was doing what most people in the Philadelphia area who claim to work on executing functioning do – helping kids organize school materials. Organizing school materials is a small part of executive functioning, [but] it’s not addressing lagging executive function skills at their foundation.

When I first spoke with Mike I knew right away that he was the real deal and knew what he was doing. He was actually working on executive function skill development. I refer many families to GrowNOW ADHD.”

“Hi Mike and Mark,
We just wanted to thank you for all your help with over the last couple of years. We are very proud of his accomplishments, how much he has grown and how far he has come! He even made the Dean’s List this past semester with a GPA of 3.73, and overall 3.13.”

“OMG, I don’t know what you did, but [my son] was a different boy at dinner tonight. He conversed, asked some questions and was generally more relaxed. WOW!!! You did this, Mike… I think he can process the way you are laying ideas out to him… he responded to this session extremely well.”

“Thank you for that wonderful session. [My child] really adores you… and he listens to what you say when you explain things in such a clear language. He can follow the steps. I am so grateful we found you. Thanks again for your support.”

   Michael McLeod of GrowNOW came and spoke at a meeting for Special Education Alliance of Cheltenham. We were impressed with the depth of his knowledge and we really appreciated the time he took to thoughtfully address the many questions participants asked.

   “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 GROW NOW. My son has been getting services since he was 2, he is now 14. This last year he has gone once a week and worked with a therapist to help him refine his social skills, work on his dialogue (speech) and, primarily, learn executive function skills. Executive function is not something the school district prioritizes but it is something that kids with learning differences often need. I can’t recommend this office enough!

   Michael definitely knows his stuff! As a mom of a neurodivergent child, and as a speech pathologist and as a neurodiverse person myself I can say with confidence that I highly recommend learning from him.

   I can not say enough about the services we are receiving at growNow! My 14 year old son NEVER complains and looks forward to going EVERY week! Mark and Mike truly do their best to get to know the kids and their needs and create a plan to help them succeed!!

   I'm a speech-language pathologist and I must say Grow Now's online resources are fantastic - lots of practical strategies to help build a child's executive functioning skills! I especially like the Tech Executive Function Grow Plan, super helpful.
