Abstract

This project focused on analyzing behavioral and clinical data from autism support classrooms as part of a Spring 2025 internship at the HANDS in Autism® Interdisciplinary Training and Resource Center. The work involved REDCap data entry, Classwide Data Rating (C-WDR) review, survey distribution, and AESIIS structured interview training. Using tools like Excel, Python, and Power BI, visual dashboards were created to illustrate behavior trends across multiple site visits. The data revealed improvements in student behavior over time, though staff engagement declined by the third visit. This project provided hands-on experience in research protocols, structured data collection, and interdisciplinary teamwork. It strengthened technical skills, deepened understanding of autism intervention strategies, and reinforced the intern’s commitment to using data-driven methods to enhance educational and healthcare outcomes for individuals with ASD.
