When focusing on unique internal skills, we can empower students to develop personalized and resilient self-talk to boost executive-function skills by giving them the tools to construct it. On Monday, Dec. 4, from 8-9:15 p.m., Michael McLeod will describe the assessment and treatment of executive-function deficits by utilizing an internal-based approach. He will present research-based strategies that help us to view executive functioning from a new standpoint and to effectively treat deficits.

McLeod, MA, CCC-SLP TSSLD, is an ADHD/executive function specialist. The owner of GrowNOW ADHD, located in Philadelphia, he is the creator of the evidence-based GrowNOW Internal Skills Model for strengthening executive functions, independence and resiliency. McLeod presents to and trains parents and staff, including school districts and therapeutic staff, both across the country and internationally, to help them reframe executive functions and help the children they serve in a more meaningful way.
