Seth Perler Executive Function Coach

PARENTS & TEACHERS: Learn how to help complicated, neurodiverse learners who struggle with homework, grades, resistance, overwhelm, motivation, procrastination, underachievement, organization, focus, study skills and time management. These are Executive Function challenges that are often gravely misunderstood.

SUBSCRIBE: Join over 25,000 families worldwide to get my free Sunday update & Student Success Toolkit, a starter kit to teach you exactly how I help neurodiverse learners of any age. It'll empower you to help your child.

I'm Seth Perler and I help struggling, outside-the-box, atypical learners turn it around in a baffling system so they can launch a successful future. My blog gives you game-changing answers in a sea of misguided educational fluff.

MALADAPTIVE PATTERNS: There's no instruction book for how to help your child navigate school & life. Traditional interventions often fail because they don't get to the root of a child's problems and they're often based on misinformation or outdated paradigms. Consequently, your child's patterns get worse each year, leading to pervasive difficulties transitioning into adulthood. That's the opposite of what education should do, and the sooner you get the truth about Executive Function, the better.

HOW TO HELP A STUDENT? Parents often feel helpless, watching their child drown in school, as they spin their wheels trying to help. There's no time for bs, life isn't a dress rehearsal. Parents are desperate for tools that are 1) practical, and 2) that consider a child's unique needs. Click here to subscribe.

HINT: It's all about Executive Function and many of my students are 2e or Twice-exceptional.

“Besides my dad, this is the first dude who gets it.” 16yo High Schooler

“Holy camoly, you get it. You have lived it.” — Rebecca

“Your work with our son has been absolutely key to his success in school. In fact, I wanted to send you the video of him giving the welcome talk at the ceremony to the incoming first graders. His teachers and fellow classmates nominated him to give the talk. As you would expect, he was quite unconventional and absolutely fantastic (I’m not biased at all). I think much of what he learned with you came across in his talk.” –Martha T, CO

“I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that our son made honor roll this semester! In addition to that achievement, for which he worked so hard, we just returned from his graduation ceremony, and he received three awards- the PE award (not a huge surprise), the social studies/language arts award (more surprising), and the prestigious Headmaster’s Award, which came with a $100 reward! He was so shocked, he didn’t even get up initially when they called his name :). They said he best embodied the true spirit and character of his school. Wow. We are so proud and grateful to you for helping him get there. Anyway, thanks, and thought you should know!” Melissa, Mom of 8th grader

“Seth just wanted to let you know we’re having our best year ever. Your guidance and input have been invaluable. Still a work in progress but we are all so grateful and mention your website to other parents all the time. Thank you for the way you care for our kids!” -Marsha

“I’ve been devouring your amazing material. I feel like you’re a personal friend, I’ve watched so many videos! I think you have the most accessible and effective support I’ve come across.”

“My husband and I want to express our sincere admiration and appreciation for all you did for our son. He has gained immense self-confidence in his ability to “do” school on his own recognizance from working with you. He slowly took over his school responsibilities, learned to advocate for himself and to even enjoy classes that he formerly thought were a “waste of time”. He told us in his senior year that no class is a waste as there is nothing to be lost from learning new information even if it doesn’t seem directly important for your particular interests at that time. He also said, “How do I know what information I’ll need in the future? I might as well learn as much as I can now, while it is being offered.” We are so impressed with how far he has developed in maturity and outlook on school. He just started college. He is just starting and greatly enjoying the challenge. We wanted to share his high school transcript with you as it clearly shows your incredible influence on his scholastic achievement.” — Parent of new college student

“Ohhhh my, what you’ve put together is absolutely amazing! You went above and beyond with details enabling each family to read, follow and execute! It truly is easy to follow and you’ve stated things extremely clearly. You’ve been such a blessing to our hearts by guiding and teaching us how best to work with our son. He really likes you and has been keeping up with all the video assignments. Thank you for what you DO! Thank you for who YOU ARE!!” — Michelle

“I just had to share what he said to me today, “Mom, as crazy as this sounds for school, I think I really like it. I’m passing all my classes. The teachers ask me what I need and they help me. I have a solid crew of friends to hang out with at lunch. I even have plans with one after school tomorrow. It feels weird for it being school after hating it forever.” I think he kept waiting for the same old negative shit to happen at school and was keeping up his guard, and now I think he is starting to let that guard down… slowly, cautiously, and I think it is even surprising him. And Sunday, he said, “I am so happy Seth is back.” THANK YOU!” — Justine, mom of a hs freshman

“Thank you for creating conversation and providing strategies for out of the box learners and devoting your time to this work.” — Melanie, Mom of 15yo boy in LA

“Seth, I LOVE your site and use many of your resources in my classroom.” — Beth C., Middle School Special Education Teacher

“I love your blog- it is just so applicable and helpful in our lives.” – Middle school mom

“You were able to verbalize and explain how my son is and why he is struggling in school. Thank you for what you do, its very much needed!!” – 3rd grade mom

“Your insight into misunderstood students who are branded ‘lazy’ and ‘unmotivated’ will help me be a more articulate and better advocate. Thank you for making this work free of charge and best of luck in your endeavors to help kids!” — Debra, Educational Consultant

“We got his report card this week and are once again pulling our hair out over grades impacted by missing/half-done assignments. THANK YOU for putting so many free resources online!” — mom of middle schooler

“Seth, the backpack overhaul was a complete success. He said “Mom, I thought this was going to be a huge waste of time and I can’t thank you enough. It feels so good.” I asked if he’d watch your videos on the other tools and he didn’t even hesitate to say yes. It seems that there is something important about acknowledging upfront that the student will want to resist because it was at that point in the video when he dropped his attitude and started listening. Thank you! Now I’m off to overhaul my purse :-)” –Amanda

“OMFG! You have this in a way that so few people do I want to scream – drink a martini – and scream again! I am an autistic gifted mom, with an autistic gifted son! We are almost there but they are so clueless – it’s mind-numbing. Not to mention my son is outside the box about and they tout “whole brain” but can’t get out of their linear, sequential way! Love you, mean it. Joanne”
