What people Are Saying

empowering my child to lead their own learning

Jolene S., Mom to a 7th Grader

"TEFOS covered topics such as sensory processing, ADHD, study skills, reducing stress through self-regulation, dealing with my child’s inner critic, creating a growth mindset, how to deal with complicated or negative emotions related to learning... Additionally, it focused on empowering my child to lead their own learning, eliminating physiological problems that might interfere with learning, and SO MUCH MORE!"

I loved the creativity, passion, competence, and caring [the speakers] brought for our families

Riah T., SLP and Parent of a 2e 6-year-old

"TEFOS is amazing and so very helpful. As a parent, partner, and professional fully immersed in 2e issues, I learned so much from the speakers. I loved the creativity, passion, competence, and caring they all brought for our families. All of these talks were so helpful and some were downright mind-blowing."

This weekend has been a roller coaster

Melanie K., Mom of a 10-year-old girl

"Seth, I’m sitting here watching a session and I’m crying. I'm trying to hold back the sobs. It’s not even so much the sadness of past failings for my child but overwhelming hope and relief that I have more insight to help my son going forward. After watching Jessica McCabe’s session I hugged my husband and apologized for forgetting that he has ADHD and things can be hard for him. Oh my. This weekend has been a rollercoaster. Thank you Seth so much for putting this together. I bought the VIP Pass and can’t wait to dive back in. :)"

A-MAZEEE-ing!!!

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:

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.

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
