Does my child need an ADHD, autism, or other diagnosis?

No.

TEFOS can be helpful whether or not your child has a formal diagnosis.

If your child struggles with things like getting started, focus, motivation, homework, organization, planning, time management, emotional regulation, remembering things, follow-through, overwhelm, transitions, or independence, you’ll find workshops designed to help you better understand what’s going on and discover practical ways to support them.

TEFOS is for parents and educators of kids with a wide range of learning and Executive Function challenges — diagnosed or not.

Does my child even have Executive Function challenges?

If your child struggles with things like this, then yes:

Focus, homework, getting started, follow through, organization, planning, being on time, distractibility, remembering important things, prioritizing the important things over the fun things when it matters, decision making, being responsible, managing overwhelm or emotions.

What is Executive Function and Neurodiversity?

Executive Function refers to the many skills our brains use to get things done. This includes everything from homework, studying, and chores, to getting ready for school or tackling responsibilities, to playing video games or with toys. In other words, it's about how we execute complex tasks through to completion.

It's also how we prioritize the important things over the fun or preferred things, when it matters for our future well-being, quality of life, and bigger goals.

If a child struggles with: starting or finishing important tasks, focusing, organizing, managing time, schoolwork, resisting distractions, prioritizing, remembering details, overwhelm, emotions, realistic self-awareness, making good decisions ... they're still developing EF skills. And the right support is makes all the difference.

If your child struggles with things like this:

Focus, homework, getting started, follow through, organization, planning, being on time, distractibility, remembering important things, prioritizing the important things over the fun things when it matters, decision making, being responsible, managing overwhelm or emotions.

Neurodiversity is about learning differences, and how our brains are unique in how we think, process, feel, and experience the world.

A "neuro-inclusive" perspective allows us to use strength based approaches to educating and raising kids, rather than focusing so much on deficits, disorders, weaknesses, or noncompliance.

Supporting kids effectively requires compassion, empathy, kindness, and strategies that understand brain development. This can be challenging because there is a lot of misunderstanding around EF, and because ineffective, top-down approaches are still the norm. And TEFOS helps you help learn more about how to your unique child.

Who is TEFOS for?

TEFOS is for parents, caregivers, teachers, educators, coaches, and other professionals who support kids and young adults with Executive Function and learning challenges.

You’ll find TEFOS especially relevant if you’re supporting someone who struggles with motivation, attention, emotional regulation, homework, organization, time management, follow-through, self-advocacy, transitions, or independence.

You don’t need to be an Executive Function expert — TEFOS is designed to help you understand more and walk away with practical strategies you can actually use.

Can I help Seth get the word out?

Finally, if TEFOS helps you, I have an ask...

💪 The experts I interview are here to help change lives, because there are countless kids out there who are misunderstood, and not getting the support they need.

🔗 So sharing the homepage link is the best way to help parents and teachers find us!

💙 So please help share the link https://ExecutiveFunctionSummit.com/ or tefos26.com far and wide, with friends, groups, or on social to help me get the word out!

In gratitude and service,

Seth Perler
