What Does Rolling Back The Eyes While Speaking Indicate?

Hi, I am a speech-language pathologist in a school setting. One of the students rolls her eyes back in her head when speaking. It s almost like a blank stare and then the eyes rolling back, then she snaps out of it. I ve never seen this before. Any information would be appreciated
