MEET SETH
I’m Seth Perler, recovering “lazy failure” of a student, and former teacher turned Executive Function Expert Nerd. I help misunderstood kids learn how awesome they are, while creating breakthroughs to help change their trajectory… for good.
And I can’t wait to show you how! I teach parents and educators how to use my non-traditional, yet practical approaches to help kids boost EF skills.
And I get it firsthand because I’ve been there ( my story ), and have helped thousands of parents and teachers learn what works, despite all the outdated educational fluff

This weekend has been a rollercoaster...
Seth, I’m sitting here watching Mike Postma’s 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 show my son the student videos. :)

What is Executive Function and Neurodiversity?
Executive Function refers to the many skills our brains use to get things done. 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.
Neurodiversity is About
Learning Differences
It's about how our brains are unique in how we think, process, feel, and experience the world. This 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 the norm. TEFOS helps you help your child!
