    (2024-08) Alluri, Dimple Sushma; Neal, Tiffany; Gottipati, Mounika; Swiezy, Naomi
    This research aimed to analyze participants' demographics, distribution, and engagement for the HANDS Developmental Disabilities and/or Autism ECHO tele-mentoring program. Data was collected through surveys to understand the representation of different participant types, race composition, gender distribution, and geographic distribution. The study also examined the preferred modes of consultation and professional involvement in diagnosing and supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and autism. Key findings indicated that family/caregivers were the most represented participant type, with a predominant race of White or Caucasians and a higher female participation rate. Indiana showed the highest geographic interest. Preferred consultation methods included phone and online consultations, with email consultations being favored by the majority. Professional involvement highlighted the need for increased engagement in early diagnosis and intervention. Workshop preferences leaned towards webinars, with less interest in all-day conferences. Recommendations were made to increase outreach to community providers, expand email consultation topics, diversify workshop offerings, strengthen professional awareness, and leverage geographic interest to develop localized programs.

    This study evaluates healthcare providers' confidence in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) care by analyzing data from the Survey of Autism Awareness and Practice (SAAP). The research focuses on the correlation between years of experience and confidence levels, examining knowledge, support, and perceived effectiveness in caring for individuals with ASD. Data collection involved surveys and interviews, with subsequent data entry into Excel and REDCap. Statistical analysis and visualizations were conducted using Power BI and Python. Key findings indicate a significant positive correlation between healthcare providers' total years of experience and their confidence in ASD care. These insights aim to inform the development of targeted training programs, enhancing provider readiness and improving care outcomes for individuals with ASD. The practicum provided hands-on experience with real-world data, fostering technical and analytical skills, and bridging the gap between academic knowledge and practical application.
