Evaluating HANDS Para-Training attendees satisfaction (2024-2025)

Abstract

This project evaluated participant engagement and satisfaction across intensive training programs at HANDS in Autism® through systematic tracking and analysis of REDCap survey data. Responsibilities included monitoring participation across multiple platforms (REDCap, Canvas, Excel), calculating module scores, issuing completion certificates, and creating Excel-based dashboards to visualize satisfaction data. A highlight of the project was the HANDS Para-Training, which received a 95% favorable rating, with 80% of participants indicating they “Completely Liked” the sessions. The intern also maintained COI/CITI compliance logs, supported in-person training logistics, and collaborated with team members to ensure data accuracy and documentation integrity. The experience strengthened technical and organizational skills while providing actionable insights for improving training evaluation processes and future intern onboarding.
