  Case: Non Verbal Autistic Student
Mrs. H has a non verbal autistic student who will take part in some assessments soon involving analysis of previous academic work. The student refuses all academic assignments but has no behavior issues in the self contained classroom. How can Mrs. H develop a portfolio of assignments for possible assessment data when the student refuses all efforts?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I worked with a student that had autism last year. She knew all the information but when you would sit her down to do assessments she would not answer any of the questions. Teaching the student with other assignments by giving her a sticker for each item she completed. This positive reinforcement worked to get the student to complete work. This was not always completed in the same location. I would do a few questions in one area and then relocate. This gave the student the idea that she was not being "tested" all the time and was more willing to work on her sticker book. Of course keep in mind that is the student is non-verbal there must be some form of Augmentative and alternative communication device.
