This article is based upon children who have autism spectrum disorders and
communication disorders. Ninety-nine subjects whom either presented one of these
characteristics hair was analyzed to determine the differences in the elements of
their hair. Basically, they found a lot of differences when comparing a control group
of children to the hair levels of a child with autism or a child with a communication
disorder. Also, they found differences in hair chemicals when they solely compared
ASD children with CD children. So, the conclusions of this study is that children who
do present these disorders do have different types of chemical makeup present in
their hair.

Title of Article: Parental Monitoring of Technology Use in Children with ADHD
Author: Margo Tell
Year: 2016

This study looked at how parents of children with ADHD monitor technology use.
Sixty-five participants were recruited to complete an online survey. It was found
that these children were awarded with technology use. Also, it was found that
children used technology simply because they liked it. Also, it was found that
parents used technology for educational benefits. The hypotheses of this study were
ones that dealt with more restrictions for children who have ADHD. Also, another
hypothesis talked about parents of children who have ADHD use technology to
distract their children so the parents can have some free time. Little positive
correlation was found in this study.

Name of Article: Block constrain to the setter in volleyball during the side-out
Author: Prudente, Joo; Nunes, Ricardo
Journal: Motricidade, 01/2017, Volume 13, Issue 1
Year: 2017

This article is analyzing the constraints of the setter during side out. Side out is
when the setter is on defense. In defense, the setter is either blocking if they are
front row, or they are playing defense in respect to the other teams hitters. This
study looked at if these defense strategies hurt the setters ability to use their
offense to the best of their ability. In fact, it was found that when the setter is playing
defense, it does constrain the setters ability to use their offense to the best of their
ability.
