“Seth Perler, of SethPerler.com, is one of STEAM Fest’s highest-rated speakers. His engaging style and research-based information will help you work with children of all ages (and maybe even some adults), to conquer the executive function frustrations.”
Overview
I speak about addressing the needs of complex, struggling students. My specialties are:

2. 2e / Twice-exceptional learners.
I design my talks according to the needs of your audience. Contact me below to tell me what you are looking for and discuss fees. I do a flat fee + expenses. Expenses includes travel and copies. I also do a number of free talks each year for groups that need it, so don’t be afraid to ask.

“Seth is a fantastic and wildly ENGAGING speaker, and his passion for educating parents, teachers, and children about Executive Function is inspiring. He’s able to take what seems like an impossible and frustrating “disability,” and show what a true gift it can be when children and their parents are properly informed and supported. Most importantly, he gives incredibly powerful tips, tricks, processes, and systems for success, no matter where you or your child are getting hung up. Seth is real and authentic, sharing his own experience transparently as a foundation for others to succeed.” – Stephanie Zamora, Boulder, CO
