Analyzing Learners: Low Functioning Non-Verbal Students

I teach students with Autism, and all of them are non-verbal and lower functioning. To become familiar with their likes, interests, and learning styles, I had them create a collage of their likes and interests using images cut from newspapers and magazines. Even though they are struggling readers and writers, They were able to complete the assignment, and I was able to learn about what may motivate them and their preferred methods of learning.

Do any of you have strategies for analyzing lower functioning learners?
