Enhancing Functional Outcomes for Students with Autism through Evidence-Based Education Models. Presented at the Fall 2023 Poster Session, Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, Department of Biomedical Engineering and Informatics, Indiana University Indianapolis.https://hdl.handle.net/1805/47723This practicum focused on evaluating the impact of the HANDS in Autism® Model across three educational settings through data-driven observation and collaboration. The project centered on the analysis of survey data collected using REDCap and visualized through Excel to assess the implementation fidelity of Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) and their effect on functional behavior in students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The Module-Based Rubric and Classroom-Wide Data Rating (C-WDR) method were used to quantify and track instructional techniques, behavioral outcomes, and staff performance. The practicum outcomes emphasized increased functional communication and reduced problem behavior in students when EBPs were implemented with fidelity. Additionally, the project cultivated skills in data collection, visualization, and collaborative evaluation in real-world educational environments.en-USAutismAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)Individuals with ASDInpatient PsychiatryEvidence-Based Practices (EBP)School-Based InterventionsFunctional BehaviorSpecial EducationEducational Program EvaluationBehavior MonitoringPoster
