  • From roots to results—executive function in action.

Why you should attend the Seeds of Learning® 2026
Executive Function symposium

The Seeds of Learning® 2026 Executive Function Symposium is more than just learning about executive function—we’ll dig into the root causes of EF learning challenges, help you connect with people who truly get it, and watch you walk away with real strategies—not the usual conference fluff. Build lasting relationships, gain practical tools and meaningful support, and leave inspired to create change.

Throughout the three-day Symposium, Seeds of Learning® founder Tera Sumpter and team members will help you build a toolkit of resources that will transform the way you teach, lead, and support executive function—in your clinical practice, your classroom, and your community!

    SLPs, you may or may not know that you can get hours toward maintaining your ASHA certification from participating in professional development activities, even if Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) are not offered.

    While they are not tracked by ASHA, Professional Development Hours (PDH) also apply toward the 30 hours of professional development you must complete every three years to maintain your certification. Please see the ASHA website for more details.

    While ASHA does not track the hours you earn through PDH for you the same way they track CEUs, you can get credit with a few simple steps!
