WHATS NEW AT NASET
NASET’s ADHD Series
Using Fostering a Healthy Home Environment for a Child with ADHD
This article is submitted from The Frugal Room and can be found at https://www.thefrugalroom.com/info/fostering-a-healthy-home-environment-for-a-child-with-adhd/ . The article focuses on fostering a healthy home environment for a child with ADHD. A child’s surroundings impact their ability to focus and manage ADHD symptoms. Parents can take steps to strategically organize and decorate the home to alleviate stress and reduce distractions for children with ADHD. Mindful organization does not replace therapeutic and medical treatment, but introducing structure and managing distractions can help children maintain focus and composure.

TRIVIA QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Congratulations to:
Laura Larimore, Emily Lincoln, Lauro Esquilona III, Patsy Ray, Courtney Thieberger, Catherine Cardenas, Katrina Snider, Cindi Maurice, Nellie Ferdinandtsen, Sandra Juntunen, Brandey Crawford, and Patrick Gilbert who all knew the answer to last week's trivia question:
Unfortunately, many students with special needs have experienced repeated challenges in school and believe they have no control over their situation. They then give up trying to make changes and accept their fate in school. This concept in psychology was discovered by Martin Seligman and Steven F. Maier, finding that people may feel that they have little to no control over their life situation. Because of the lack of control, they may become unmotivated or try to take action, since they believe nothing they do will make a difference.... What is the name of this psychological concept?
Answer: LEARNED HELPLESSNESS
This week's trivia question:
This assistive technology device was invented in 1898 by Miller Reese Hutchison using an electric current to amplify sounds. The design itself was a carbon transmitter, allowing the device to be portable. What did Miller Reese Hutchison invent?
