“I signed up and after lacking the time to really dig-in each day (and reaching mental overload quickly) happily bought the whole shebang at the reduced price. WOW. WOW. WOW.
The speakers are wonderful. Having the transcripts is wonderful (I can copy and paste the salient quotes I'd like to share with my husband (who thankfully is interested and a devoted partner on this). I have a relaxed pace to dig-in to each talk and really concentrate.
I cannot tell you how much help it is to have laser-focused info about EF. Getting the message that I am accomplishing more than I realize or take credit for, and that I have not broken my 13.5 year old son, is something I need to hear and take to heart every day. I am finally accepting that this long journey is something that can't be rushed. So I feel like I've really begun a good path of educating myself and being curious and non-judgmental. I also think that all of your content is helping my husband and me make really good choices about selecting a high school that deals with EF and LD. I feel empowered to do the work required to locate and secure a more comfortable and supportive spot next year for him for 9th grade.
Long story short, I want to thank you for all that you do. It really matters to us parents. It means the world to us. Having these resources is awesome. Feeling heard and not feeling alone is important. Having someone to help us focus and find answers is priceless....”

“I took over 50 pages of notes on your TEFOS Conference. Just LOVED it. I got up or stayed up until 3a.m. each morning when it started here AK time and watched as many as possible before resting a bit and waking up to hear the rest of the speakers for each day. Thanks for choosing VIMEO where it was so easy to listen over and over again to get down the fine details that I wanted to at the time. I have typed up all but the last day of speaker notes and then I’ll continue to share those with friends and family as well. I especially liked your two last questions for each speaker about 1. actionable steps and 2. what to say to give us as parents and teachers and community members hope for positive change. Ten percent is enough is a great start!! Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing your bio as well. It will give hope to many.”

"This summit was amazing and so very helpful. As a parent, partner, and professional fully immersed in 2e issues, I learned so much from the speakers at TEFOS. I was familiar with only 4 of these speakers prior to the conference, and 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."
-Riah E., SLP and Parent of a 2e 6 year old, Tucson, AZ

"If you have a child struggling in any way with Executive Function issues, TEFOS is worth your time and investment!"
-Heather, Homeschool mom of 6th and 8th grade girls, Alabama
---
"TEFOS covered topics such as: sensory processing, ADHD, study skills, reducing stress through self-regulation, dealing with your child’s inner critic, creating a growth mindset, how to deal with complicated or negative emotions related to learning, math and flexible thinking, the brain and how it relates to executive function, empowering your child to lead their own learning, innovations in biofeedback, eliminating physiological problems that might interfere with learning, and SO MUCH MORE!"
-Jolene, mom to a 7th grader, CA

This IS a place of kindness, generosity, compassion, empathy, acceptance and love.
I’m Seth Perler and my life’s work is dedicated to helping kids with Executive Functioning challenges so they can have great futures, despite outdated educational systems. And I'm a person who has lived it, I have had tremendous Executive Functioning challenges that were eroding every aspect of my life. I'm very lucky for the support I received as a young man, because it changed the course of my life. I still have executive function problems, but I now have solutions that have empowered me to build a fantastic life. They say we "teach what we most need to learn" and that's been true for me, this is my passion.
Mission: Give you (compassionate & proactive parents, educators and others who help kids) honest, practical and unconventional approaches to helping complicated, struggling students, without b.s. or misinformation. And teach the world about Executive Function, which is at the root of most student struggles.
Vision: A day when we don’t need executive function coaches because education is wildly successful at empowering all students with everything they need to have happy, healthy and successful lives.

What's the backstory?
The quick version: Creating TEFOS was a dream of mine for years, and in 2019, it became a reality (2023 is our 5th annual event.) My life is dedicated to helping kids who struggle with EF because I know firsthand how severely the consequences can negatively impact one's ability to become a happy & successful adult. I wanted to create this because there are too many kids struggling, and when adults understand Executive Function, we can better serve these kids. I'm thrilled to share this heart-centered summit with you and hope you find answers you're looking for. Register Free >
What experience do I hope you have?
1. I'm intentional about every aspect of TEFOS, and want you to have an immersive and transformative experience.
My #1 intention is that you walk away feeling more empowered to support your child with Executive Function challenges. I want you to be inspired to take action.
2. What comes from the heart goes to the heart. Therefore I get heartfelt speakers and make them feel at home, which leads to the next intention...
3. I want the experts to be informal because I want YOU to feel relaxed and connected to them. I want you to feel like you're in a coffee shop or sitting in a park with them, and you feel like it's easy to take their wisdom in. I do NOT want this to feel stuffy. We are NOT trying to be perfect or polished, we are trying to be helpful and real.
4. I want you to experience many a-ha moments.
5. Finally, I want you to feel hopeful, positive and empowered.
Here is my criteria:
I reach out to experts who are "heart-centered" because what comes from the heart goes to the heart. I want YOU, attendees, to feel like they are speaking directly to you, so getting heart-centered people who are living their life's purpose serving kids and families is critical.
Here's my process:
You get the picture. Finally, we have ourselves a great event!
The coolest thing is that the experts cover the same themes in different ways, which is mind blowing, because we can connect dots like never before. We discover different ways of understanding common themes, which makes them more accessible, and thus helps us feel more empowered to support our children.
