    Enhancing collaborative site effectiveness through TPOP analysis and data visualization in autism research
    (2024-12) Sripathi, Surya Rao; Neal, Tiffany; Devarapalli, Baby Amulya; Swiezy, Naomi
    This project evaluated team performance and the implementation of autism support strategies across three educational sites- North Webster, Springfield, and Jefferson through the HANDS in Autism® Collaborative Sites initiative. Core tasks included analyzing Team Participation and Observation Profile (TPOP) data to assess team dynamics, communication, role clarity, service delivery, and cultural competence. Additional contributions included refining physical and visual structure binders for classroom use and developing data visualizations in Power BI and Python. The analysis revealed varying strengths across sites: North Webster excelled in engagement and communication; Springfield showed strength in cultural competence; and Jefferson led in service delivery. However, common challenges included low scores in trust, data-sharing, and preparation. Recommendations emphasized the need for structured workshops, standardized best practices, and improved data utilization to enhance training outcomes and team collaboration.

    Optimizing educational practices: Collaborative Sites Project
    (2024-08) Yama, Jhansi Laxmi; Neal, Tiffany; Devarapalli, Baby Amulya; Swiezy, Naomi
    This project focused on optimizing educational practices for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) through the Collaborative Sites initiative at HANDS in Autism®. The project evaluated team training satisfaction using the "Classroom project: SY20-21" dataset, assessing components such as overall impression, team coaching, and team fidelity. Data was collected, entered into REDCap and Excel, and visualized using Power BI. Results showed that while training in the program arm was rated highly, the classroom arm revealed moderate usefulness and partial implementation, indicating areas for improvement in instructional delivery. The findings underscore the need for improved consistency in training application and targeted strategies to enhance team engagement and fidelity in educational settings.
