About Dr. Conway

A Lifetime of Empowering Others, Like He and His Children were Empowered too

Dr. Conway is trained in lifespan clinical neuropsychology with a specialty in The Morris Center’s (TMC) 30+ years of a robust, evidence-based, and unique Transdisciplinary Team approach to assessment & treatment of any learning challenges. The TMC team can include Neuropsych, Speech, OT, Rec Therapy, School Psych, Clinical Psych, Education & consulting Psychiatry or Pediatrics. TMC Transdisciplinary Team assessment services does far more than diagnose, its plans for highly effective team treatment, called the “Intensive Empowerment Program” aka an IEP that works, to empower new strengths in language, sensory, motor, attention, behavior, executive function/cognitive & academic skills. Commonly, these skills are areas of struggle many diagnosed or undiagnosed disorders, eg, Dyslexia, Specific Learning Disorder in Reading or Writing (Dysgraphia) or Arithmetic (Dyscalculia), Phonological Alexia, Sensory Processing Disorder, ADHD, Autism, Language Disorders, Dyspraxia, CP, NF1 or other Neurodevelopmental Disorders or undiagnosed learning challenges.

Also, in the edtech NOW! Programs company, Dr. Conway’s unique expertise & “evidence-based with large gains” programs stem from him being transdisciplinary trained & peer-review research published in the areas of fMRI/neuroimaging, post-stroke neurorehabilitation, Dyslexia early intervention, Dyslexia remediation and randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT). His expert training in Dyslexia and all learning disorders began with being the protege nephew of the late Patricia Conway Lindamood and Charles Lindamood in the 1980’s before and after they created the current company that carries their name). Later, at Patricia Lindamood’s request for him to join a highly skilled team in Gainesville, Florida consisting of a Developmental Behavioral Pediatrician, Aphasiologist/Speech Pathologist, Occupational Therapist and Clinical Psychologist, his collaboration with The Morris Center (TMC) clinic began in 1989. The TMC clinic team’s first Neurodevelopmental Disorders publication was in the 1991 Annals of Dyslexia (Dr. Conway was only a bachelors level scientist practitioner at that time, hence he lead the treatment programs for those 1991 students, but was not a co-author of that paper). This 1991 Dyslexia study was one of the first in the nation to show literally grade levels of improvement in phonological awareness, phonological working memory, reading and spelling skills in only a few months of empowering intervention. Dr. Conway and the research team’s 1991 paper became pilot data for 15 years of NIH/NICHD funded RCT’s led by Dr. Joseph Torgesen’s FSU group, Dr Conway and TMC’s team. Dr Conway & the TMC team’s program of research on Dyslexia & Neurodevelopmental Disorders has been active for over 30 years.

Combining 30+ years of TMC clinical practice and peer-reviewed Randomized Controlled Trials research lead to the creation of four different empowering courses being exclusively provided by TMC clinics, online NOW! Programs® online, The Einstein School for dyslexia & other collaborations between the NOW! Progams® company USA and UK schools, school districts, states, national and international non-profits too.

Dr. Conway trained in both Neurodevelopmental Disorders and brain injury acquired disorders for a lifespan neurorehabilitation approach to the application of his & colleague’s research on providing highly effective, evidence-based treatments aka empowerment of more strengths that provide students of all ages with more independence, self-esteem, self-confidence, control and desire to pursue their own academic and occupational interests. Seeing students exit Special Ed / SEND services, leave Dyslexia schools and go on to regular education services, magnate schools, AP coursework, dual-enrollment high schools or even International Baccalaureate programs is one of Dr. Conway’s greatest joys of life.

Note: Scientific research and clinical case studies repeatedly show most academic abilities can be fully empowered to a person’s true IQ. Fully functioning skills provide far greater empowerment than accommodations, supports, assistive technology, strategies or lowered expectations.

Dr. Conway has trained & guides teams of professionals in medical clinics, schools, university student services, adult education programs, prisons’ schools & other settings. Within these settings, he has successfully developed early intervention, remediation and neurorehabilitation programs for children, teenagers, adults and older adults (2.5 years old through 84 years old). Dr Conway consults on treatment and forensic cases, lectures at professional conferences and provides contractual, high-fidelity training and evidence-based treatments and research-based treatments throughout the USA, West Indies, Canada, UK, EU, Latin America. Globally, Dr Conway’s EdTech “Neuro-development of Words – NOW!” company provides online, evidence-based & research-based empowering tutoring services www.NOWprograms.com

The currently named “NOW! FOUNDATIONS FOR SPEECH, LANGUAGE, READING AND SPELLING^®” program is the latest iteration of a 30+ years program of research that began in 1989 and was first published in 1991 Annals of Dyslexia research article.
