I just wanted to write to let anyone know that is thinking about trying out GrowNOW ADHD….do it!
We did about 6 months ago for my 14 year old soon to be 10th grader (he turned 15 in August). 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!
It was also the first time ever a teacher put on his report card….shows responsibility.
I’m not kidding I stopped one of the teachers to clarify they were talking about the right student!
Mike and his staff have done more for us and our son in 6 months than any teacher, tutor, Dr etc!
I can’t recommend them enough!!!

Yes! We’ve had a total of 3 sessions and so far we LOVE our coach! My son was very reluctant and had a full on fit right before. But after about 5 mins, he was all in. It will be a slow process as the coach is working hard to build their relationship. Last week they started to talk about ways my son could be more productive at home and he came up with a goal. It was a very simple one (along the lines of taking care of cat more often) but he did it! He also does parent coaching with us and sends us helpful emails when we have specific questions. Going much better than I expected so far. 🙏🏻

Hey Mike, So many days in a row of no arguing, no power struggles, minimal drama , just watching my teenager navigate life. Parent coaching has been so helpful. Doing the work.

Mike McLeod has made a huge impact on our 11-year-old son who struggles with Executive Functioning challenges. He had helped him with confidence, organization, self-regulation. Most importantly, he has helped him to recognize that he does not need gaming to stimulate his mind and feel connected to others. We are so grateful and look forward to his support through our son’s middle school years!

He thinks you are his best friend! I think he looks up to you. He kept saying “Eric said” ….that I need to respect my parents, write a paper, being bored is good, get a boring book, do things w/o getting something, challenge himself, etc. Thank you SO much. I even used you as a way to get him to get ready this am. “What would Eric say?” Ha!
A GrowNOW parent · about their coach
I’m very grateful the GrowNOV ADHD, Mike and his team, for the services they provided to us. We had online sessions with Cassidy, and I can’t overstate how helpful these were to us. Both Mike and Cassidy are very knowledgeable and passionate about helping children with ADHD and their families through both parent and child coaching. They also held a meeting with my son’s school stuff to advice on the best ways to handle dysregulation in school. Overall, it was very helpful and wonderful experience to work with them. Highly recommended if your child has ADHD and you need a support in handling it or learning how to help your child to succeed.

Our experience with GrowNow is the first time we have received true, action oriented solutions for specific behaviors and situations. It is re-wiring our parenting as much as it is seeking to re-wire parts of our son’s learned behavior and natural conflict seeking behavior. There is a reason why “parent coaching” is intervention #1 when it comes to helping your ADHD kid thrive. Our coach Mackenzie is patient, responsive outside of our weekly calls, and deeply aware of nuances for our specific family.

I am so grateful to Michael for truly caring about helping my son and myself navigate his ADHD. He loves his EF coach and always looks forward to his weekly zoom meeting with him. Michael and his team have supported me whenever I needed extra help with my own parent coaching. Before GrowNow ADHD, it was exhausting, daily struggles over homework. My son’s weekly EF coaching has empowered him to be proactive in his education and social life. It didn’t happen overnight but it will happen if you follow Michael’s EF coaching!!

Mike McLeod at Grow Now ADHD Therapy has been a game-changer for our 16-year-old son. Under Mike’s guidance, Eli has developed real independence and self-regulation skills over the past 4 years. While he’s still a WORK IN PROGRESS, the steady improvement over the past few years has been remarkable. Mike has been more than a therapist—he’s a trusted confidant and advisor who truly cares about his patients. We’re deeply grateful for his expertise and support.

I am an advocate and can not say enough good things about Grownow . My clients are having great success. I also have over 20 years teaching and administration experience and have seen a lot of executive function instruction and this is the best

We absolutely love GrowNow. Our child loved every single session and our coach was always available to us. Biggest progress was decreasing prompts and increasing independence at home. Could not recommend more to all parents. Mike was always helping as well

We just had our first session last evening with our GrownowADHD therapist and she gave us a solution for a bedtime issue that has been destroying our peaceful evenings for more than 7 years! Worked perfectly and we all actually enjoyed our evening!! Priceless!

We’ve started sessions with Lee (tomorrow is the 2nd with my son) and it was so funny. After one session with him we went to do some shopping (TJ Maxx and co) and usually my 10 year old is bored and is entertaining himself fooling around. This time when we’ve been waiting in line I asked him about the session again and he said: “actually, what Lee said works, I was going to press a button to call for assistance earlier for fun but then I thought I’ll just waste someone’s time”. This is something very new to hear from him!
Parent of a 10-year-old
You are hands down the best therapy around for ADHD families. We have been screen free at home for 4 years other than television and music. As a result everyone is happier and healthier and even my football throw and basketball skills have also improved as a mom!! It is a win win!! Thank you for helping us stay strong and focused on the fight against video games and social media!!!

Yes! we used them for both my son and daughter. I was so worried by kids would hate it – but they loved it and learned a ton. Parent coaching was a game changer for us! so much progress
Parent of two GrowNOW kids
It’s been really great! We have an amazing Coach and it’s been very helpful. We started with executive function practice and have recently moved onto socializing and peer relationships. Our son hated it at first but after just a couple of sessions—he’s all in. Our Coach also gives us detailed emails with things to work on and follow up info. He also meets with us anytime we like and we even got an extra group call with Mike. Highly recommend. Would love to keep in touch and hear how it goes for you too 🙌🏻

Recently, he’s described being able to go with the flow, to sit with different people and talk about different topics, and I’ve definitely noticed more motivation and social confidence.

Your coaching has been so helpful already and it’s only been 2 wks.. I feel so hopeful for the first time in a long time
A GrowNOW parent · Instagram
Yes, current client and highly recommend. We don’t work with Mike, but with another one of his coaches, and we have seen real progress over the last few months. I’ve become a firm believer that parent coaching is the way to go. It’s a combination of parent coaching and the coach working directly with the child.

Thank you Alyssa-I appreciate all the help advice and knowledge you have given us… It is so good to see such improvement because for such a time I was so lost the usual methods didn’t work and what you have taught me is working and I feel so hopeful for his future

Posted on Shannon LaBuda29/07/2026 GrowNow has been the voice of reason to our family ever since we found them!!! They are the clear voice in the adhd space that we need, and I am so grateful for Mikes work. I have listened to every episode of their adhd parenting podcast, and The Executive Function Playbook has been THE book I go to for deep understanding, clear direction, and the most clear cut, no fluff, concise book I have ever read on adhd (and I’ve read a lot). I have purchased the workbook that goes along with it also, and I can not speak more highly of them both! I have read it all the way through 4 times, and I know I will reach for it again when things feel too hard, too big, and it’s just become my comfort book that brings me back to reality when the overwhelm becomes so much.Posted on Jessica Rios30/06/2026 I am deeply impressed with GrowNOW. Michael McLeod is brilliant and passionate in his work with supporting parents, so that we can lean in to support our children's unique brains and needs, and his presence is illuminated with mastery. Today I met with my daughter's father and our GrowNOW parenting coach, and I am certain I'll sleep better tonight than I have in years, given how relieved I feel. My gut sense has been affirmed, and I feel clear about the most important steps ahead. We are finally on our way to giving our daughter the structure and guidance she needs.Posted on Amy Kallgren30/04/2026 Fantastic information regarding ADHD and how it impacts all areas of a child’s life…just not their ability to sit still. I loved how Mike unapologetically talked about the dangers of the internet.Posted on Amy LaFreniere30/03/2026 I was excited to learn that GrowNOW offers virtual parent trainings! As a board member of the SEPAC (Special Education Advisory Committee) at my son's school, I immediately thought of Mike when I was tasked with finding an informational speaker who parents would enjoy listening to and learning from. He was terrific! It's impressive how clearly he presents his knowledge in a straightforward, accessible way. I've since heard back from several parents about how helpful they found the webinar, and many are grateful that we were allowed to record it so they can share what they learned with their fellow caregivers. Bravo, Mike! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Posted on Kellie Rocha30/03/2026 I recently had the incredible opportunity having Michael McLeod as a guest speaker at the special needs support group that I co-chair. The presentation and round table discussion was insightful and well received by our members. The wealth of knowledge Michael McLeod shared with us is a true asset for those of us who have children who struggle with ADHD and executive functioning. Thank you again for presenting to our group!Posted on Marissa Kurtz30/03/2026 As a speech pathologist, educator and a mother of a son with executive functioning deficits, I cannot say enough positive things about Mike McLeod and GrowNow. These are not your typical ADHD strategies but actual insightful and evidence based information and support that will truly benefit children. GrowNow will provide you with immediate ideas to implement the next day that will help your kids in years to come. Mike McLeod is also a very engaging speaker that provides so much actual knowledge and resources not based on feelings but solid facts and research. Establishing communication to begin the relationship was also very easy and demonstrated understanding of what it means to be a parent to a child with these challenges. I would highly recommend any classes, coaching or presentations by this speaker and organization.Posted on Randa Fletcher28/02/2026 Michael confirmed and solidified our struggles with our child. Screen time!! We need to do better and so does the school system with minimizing the screens. Routine is key and I look forward to reading the books and keep learning how to best support my kids. Thank you!Posted on Violette Cortez28/02/2026 I recently attended a Grow Now ADHD training with Michael McLeod hosted by our district’s CAC board. The training was incredibly informative, and I felt truly supported as a parent. Michael provided practical tools and strategies to help my neurodivergent children thrive. I’m looking forward to reading his new book and continuing to learn more so I can better support my children with ADHD and executive functioning challenges. I would highly recommend Grow Now ADHD trainings to all parents, educators, and school districts!Posted on Natalee Biniasz28/02/2026 Incredibly helpful and empowering presentation by Michael McLeod – GrowNow ADHD. As both a teacher and a parent, I had the opportunity to attend Michael McLeod’s GrowNow Executive Functions & Internal Skills training, and it was one of the most practical and meaningful ADHD trainings I have participated in. This training truly focused on executive functioning, and Michael did an excellent job clearly explaining skills such self-regulation, self-awareness, self-motivation, and self-evaluation in ways that were easy to understand and immediately applicable at home and in the classroom. The strategies shared were realistic, research-based, and directly connected to real challenges students and families face every day. I especially appreciated the strengths-based approach to ADHD and how Michael helped reframe behaviors through an executive functioning lens rather than blame. From a teacher’s perspective, the examples and tools directly aligned with real classroom needs. From a parent’s perspective, the training was reassuring, empowering, and full of practical supports families can truly use. Michael is engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about helping children with ADHD thrive. I highly recommend GrowNow ADHD and the Parent Training: ADHD & Executive Function Skills training to any family or school.Posted on AM Harriger28/02/2026 After our 13-year-old son was diagnosed with ADHD, we knew we needed support but didn’t know where to begin. From our first call with Mike McCleod, it was clear that GrowNOW was different. What sets this program apart is the inclusion of parent training, not just coaching for the child. That piece was a true game changer. We left the program with practical tools and a much better understanding of how to support our son day to day. The GrowNOW team also did an excellent job matching him with the right coach. Jake was a great fit for our son and built a genuine connection. Our son’s attitude toward the sessions improved dramatically as their relationship grew. We also appreciated that GrowNOW isn’t designed to be a permanent fixture. In just eight weeks, we gained strategies we’ll use for years to come. We’re very grateful for the impact this program has had on our family and would highly recommend GrowNOW to other parents navigating a new ADHD diagnosis.
