Pennsylvania Autism Needs Assessment: Data Visualization
• Consolidating robust survey results into digestible, usable products• Several target audiences
– Individuals/Families with ASD – Policy Makers – Research community
• Important to allow end users to interact and manipulate data

Static Graphing
• Inefficient for large amounts of data
• Not as engaging for end users
• Still necessary in certain cases– Publications – Printed materials – Reports

Tableau Dashboards
• A collection of graphs, maps, and tables that are linked together through the data
• Filters on demographics or specific responses can be applied to one or multiple graphs on a Dashboard, resulting in a custom report
• Useful for both internal and external reporting
