NASET’s Discipline in Special Education Series
Discipline Discussions: The Power of Asking “Why”
In the 2021–22 school year, 84% of public schools reported that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted students’ behavioral development, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. In schools across our country, for children with and without disabilities, this can look like classroom disruptions, rowdiness, or acting out. Indeed, the pandemic’s impact continues to affect all ages, from our youngest learners to adolescents and has often resulted in disciplinary removals. While the pandemic’s effects are felt by children with and without disabilities alike, one approach to addressing these challenges originates from research and study into supporting the behavioral needs of children with disabilities. This edition of NASET’s Discipline in Special Education series comes from the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services Blog, https://sites.ed.gov/osers/2023/04/discipline-discussions-the-power-of-asking-why/ . It was written by Valerie C. Williams, Director of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services Blog. The focus of the article is on issues surrounding discipline of students with disabilities and the power of asking “why”.

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?
Answer: HEARING AID
This week's trivia question:
A device that follows kids’ eye movements as they watch a video showing a social interaction between two children may help speed up the diagnosis of this disorder, researchers say. Data from two new studies, published simultaneously this month in JAMA and JAMA Network Open, suggest that the tablet-based device can identify the disorder in children ages 16 months to 30 months as accurately as a specialist would. The tool monitors a video viewer’s eye movements at a rate of 120 times a second. It allows specialists to determine moment by moment what social information children are taking in, with typically developing children focusing on the interaction while toddlers with this disorder gaze at other spots in the video. The results can be available in 30 minutes. What is the disorder?
If you know the answer to this week's trivia questions, email it to us at contactus@naset.org by September 26, 2023. If you are correct, you will be acknowledged in next week's NASET's Week in Review
