“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.”
“What makes Seth a captivating speaker is his ability to relate to his audience on a deeply personal level. He understands the students and parents that he serves to the core – their daily struggles, their feelings, and their needs. Seth has a gift for taking the complex issues that families face and breaking down the solutions into bite-sized, concrete, and actionable steps that they are excited to take. Most importantly, Seth takes the guilt, shame, and judgement out of the conversation about school and helps parents both relate to and support their kids in a way that strengthens their relationship.” -Yulia Rafalova, Los Angeles, CA
“Seth is a dynamic speaker. He transfers his passion for developing executive function right to you. He gives you take home tools you can start to use with your student right away, so they can have a better process for working through school.” – Courtney Elizabeth, Broomfield, CO
“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, Grand Junstion, CO
