    This project analyzed behavioral severity scores of adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as part of the Coordinated Care Project led by HANDS in Autism®, in partnership with NDI and Damar Services. Using Python and Power BI, the practicum examined pre-admission and post-discharge data to assess the impact of evidence-based interventions. Results indicated a reduction in average behavioral severity scores from 6 to 4.3 over six months post-discharge. Correlation analysis revealed strong behavior clusters, particularly around self-care tasks like getting dressed and bathing, highlighting them as critical targets for intervention. Through statistical testing and interactive dashboard development, this project supported data-informed decision-making and strengthened the intern’s skills in behavioral health analytics, interdisciplinary research, and clinical outcome evaluation.
