Calling All Parents, Teachers, & Coaches

Join Executive Function Lab

Get clear tools to help struggling students become organized, confident, independent, and less resistant to using the tools they need.

It’s really disheartening when we find ourselves spinning our wheels trying to help a child, but watch the same downward spiral continue.

We try so many things to help our kids get unstuck, and we just need clear solutions.

I created Executive Function Lab to help you save time and energy by giving you tools that actually work, that I’ve developed over decades in the trenches with kids.

You see, helping a Struggling Student is all about building Executive Function skills, which is the #1 most important concept adults “should” understand, but don’t, because few people teach it well.

EF-Lab gives you my clear step-by-step strategies that lead to wins, and long term results, so you feel confident that your child is getting what they need.

EF-Lab is designed for parents, teachers and coaches of kids with challenges with motivation, attention, realistic planning, self-regulation, including ADHD, 2e, anxiety, and school resistance.

Help your neurodivergent child become more organized, less resistant to using the tools they need, and more independent – without constant conflicts or burnout.

Workshop for Students: How To Prioritize The Important Things Over The Fun Things When It Matters - $79

Your brain's Executive Function also helps you "Prioritize", but sometimes we prioritize things that are fun for right now, but that can get in the way of doing the important things that are even more important for our future. So how do we manage ourselves to do the actual best things for our own well-being?

We'll learn several relational tools for you to try with your child in the coming days, designed to open communication and build stronger connections.

Workshop: The 5 EF key planning questions students "should" ask every night - $59

Planning ahead is one of the most important — and most difficult — Executive Function skills for many students.

Backwards planning is one of the most important Executive Function skills for managing long-term projects, deadlines, reading assignments, and major responsibilities without last-minute panic. In this workshop, parents, teachers, and coaches learn how to guide students through breaking large tasks into manageable steps, planning ahead from the due date backward, taking notes effectively while reading, and managing complex projects like college applications. Includes printable planning resources to help students apply the system in real life.

"How to Plan A Summer That's Fun AND That Prepares You For A Great Fall" Workshop - $79

Summer can either become a time to lose routines completely or a valuable opportunity to strengthen Executive Function skills in low-pressure, real-life ways. In this workshop, parents learn how to create a summer that balances fun, freedom, and growth while also preparing students for a smoother transition back to school. Topics include building EF skills naturally during summer activities, recognizing teachable moments, and reestablishing healthy routines before the school year begins.

Homework & Study Hacks Workshop - $159

Homework and studying can become exhausting and frustrating when students struggle with Executive Function skills, focus, motivation, sleep, or follow-through. In this workshop, families learn practical homework routines, study strategies, timer techniques, distraction-reduction tools, and accountability supports that help students work more effectively and with less overwhelm. Additional Q&A sessions cover topics like sleep, study environments, planner resistance, senioritis, changing strategies when something stops working, and building better homework habits that are realistic for neurodivergent learners.

The DIP Day Workshop: How to navigate the mid-semester DIP - $89

Many students hit a predictable mid-semester “DIP” where motivation drops, missing work piles up, stress increases, and Executive Function challenges become more visible. In this workshop, parents and students learn how to recognize the DIP pattern early, create a realistic recovery plan, simplify overwhelm, and communicate more effectively with teachers. Includes practical tools like a DIP checklist, recovery strategies, and a teacher email template to help students get clarity, get caught up, and regain momentum before things spiral further.

Masterclass: Resets- why they matter, how to do them - $179

In this masterclass, families learn practical ways to reset important school and life systems, including study spaces, calendars, organization habits, accountability routines, and cluttered environments. The lessons also explore why stressful seasons like the holidays can throw students off track — and how proactive resets can help students regain clarity, structure, and momentum before overwhelm takes over.

Mini-Workshop: How We Misunderstand Consequences - $39

Parents often hear that kids simply “need consequences,” but supporting students with Executive Function challenges is usually much more nuanced than that. In this mini-workshop, we explore the difference between punishment and effective natural consequences, when consequences actually help, and how to approach accountability in ways that build learning instead of increasing shame, conflict, or resistance. Includes Q&A discussions about natural consequences and what to do when parents are not aligned on discipline approaches.

Workshop: How to Help Your Child Finish the Semester Strong and Prep for Spring - $99

The end of the semester is often when Executive Function challenges become most visible - assignments slip through the cracks, time blindness increases stress, and students can quickly fall behind without realizing it.

Includes practical tools, planning strategies, and a “Finish Strong” checklist designed to help families end the semester with less stress and more confidence moving into spring.

Topics include downsizing, reorganizing, resetting spaces, and breaking through the emotional and mental barriers that often make decluttering feel impossible.

Workshop for Parents and Students: Declutter and Organize for Freedom / Make a Declutter Plan for Summer - $49

Why Did I Create EF-Lab?

I’ve been helping kids and families for decades, and I’ve learned what works.

I also know what doesn’t work, and have seen far too many kids struggle for too long because they remained misunderstood.

These kids are often mislabeled: Lazy, unmotivated, procrastinator, you just need to try harder, you’re making everything so difficult, you’ve got so much potential, etc..

Well-intended adults often try to “motivate” these kids with lectures, punishments, consequences, rewards, using logic and reason to get them to see the light, etc.

But these approaches don’t give kids the Executive Function Skills they need.

Helping kids create real change is not quick and easy. It takes understanding strategies that work, time, empathy, compassion, patience, and persistence.

So that’s what we do in EF-Lab. I give you a methodology that accelerates progress, and you get a community of caring people who help each other get clear about how to actually help!

What parents are saying

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Hi Seth! I’ve been watching your videos and following you - as well as giving your contact to other parents for years and I know that this is going to be an amazing thing for all the parents and kids. We are expats living abroad and if parents struggle in the US -I know I do with my daughter - no matter the location - outside the US has a lot less understanding and support and community. Best of luck on your journey!! You are truly a gift to the community."

Irene

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The most impressive attribute of Seth is his steadfast dedication. He has never given up on our daughter, even when she has become overwhelmed and wanted to give up. He taught her to believe in herself. She is now graduating, and she couldn't have done it without him."

Bonnie, L.A.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Sarah absolutely aced this day! I'm sitting back in wonderment! She attributes her success to you! Normally, she’d be crying, frustrated, overwhelmed, and angry. Instead, she was quite calm! She took that in stride, I was so impressed with her! I said, “How does it feel?” She said, “Norma!!” Go Sara! “Wow! So much executive skill went into making this day work! What enabled you to be so successful and on top of things?!” She said, “Seth!” Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m so thrilled for her (and for me) to see her starting to take charge and function more age-appropriately in her life."

Karin A., New Jersey

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Seth, that was a complete success. My son 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’ve already shared your program because no doubt other students can benefit from your tools. Thank you! :-)"

Helen, Los Angeles

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I had my 12-year-old attend your workshop as my birthday gift. We both really enjoyed your ideas. We tried them and there has been a great change. Thanks for being a voice to say that we all get there in different ways. Keep it up!"

Amy, Seattle

Who is Seth Perler?

I’m Seth, 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 (even if they seem completely stuck).

For 16 years I’ve been teaching parents + educators how to use my non-traditional, yet practical methods to help kids boost Executive Function.

And I get it firsthand because I’ve been there myself (read my story), and have helped thousands learn what works, despite all the outdated educational fluff out there.
