Abstract

This project focused on analyzing the effectiveness of autism support services within the HANDS in Autism® Coordinated Care model through detailed review of patient progress and clinical outcomes. Key contributions included designing accessible, participant-centered interview questions for the NDI project, conducting case-level analysis of DD-CGAS scores for two patients, and contributing to a dissemination paper with descriptive statistics. The analysis revealed minimal improvements and in some cases, worsening of functioning post-discharge, particularly in self-care and academic performance. These findings emphasize the need for more targeted and sustained interventions. Recommendations include improving caregiver training, enhancing follow-up post-discharge, and strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration to address persistent gaps in care.
