I felt that the lecture presented was very inspiring. I enjoyed her sense of humor and all the interesting things she had to say. I really loved the comment "Autism is my prism not my prison" I love this sentiment and the thought that autism is just another way of opening up and viewing the world. I work with autistic people on a day to day basis, and with most non-verbal people, I have never actually heard their words. Although, I dream about what they might say if they did speak. I imagine that they just speak another language than that of you and I, so it makes it really difficult to learn something so foreign.

Informal Assessment- I would use informal assessments in the special ed. classroom through observations, running records, and talking to the students. This type of assessment could be used quite frequently to determine where the student's strengths and weaknesses are.
Formal assessment- This type of standardized measure could be used to to determine where the student is as far as percentiles and standardized skills. It would help determine if the student's skills in certain areas are above or below average.
Authentic assessment- This assessment strategy could potentially be used quite often in the special ed. classroom. Observation of motor skills, counting, how they follow instruction. This type of assessment is so varied that the teacher has a variety of opportunities to utilize this method.
Norm-referenced assessment-I feel it may be difficult to use this form of assessment in special ed. because of the varying types of disabilities and varying degrees of severity of those disabilities that the children may have.
Paper-pencil assessment- This form of assessment may need to be adjusted for children with special needs, but maybe it could be used to determine the progression of the writing skills of the students that are capable of writing.
Teacher-developed assessment- I would use this form of assessment to see how much of what I have gone over in the classroom they are understanding and access their comprehension to see where maybe I as the instructor could adjust the execution of the lesson.
