AR is  VERY accessible and most likely the school had it but maybe got rid
of it? or still does and they are just trying this? With AR--accelerated
reader, the child reads a book and can take the test on their own with
jaws, braille display right online...that is the way my students do it.
Very easy...ask about it--ironically it is used across the country and is
one of the most popular way to access kids
