  Case: How to Assess a Non-Verbal Student
I am in a high school ESE classroom right now for my internship. How do I assess a student who is non-verbal, in a wheelchair, and struggles with their fine motor skills?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Learning to read eyes is a great tool for students who struggle in this area; Blink once for yes, blink twice for no. Using an assistive technology tool that can be connected to his/her wheelchair that can be used with their hands just like a motor-wheelchair that may have the shaft stick.

Comments: I had never thought of watching the eyes of a student as a solution, but I think it is very interesting and in some cases could be very helpful for assessment.
