Navigating ASD: Fostering Mental Health in Adolescents with ASD: Tailored Workshops for Emotional Regulation and Social FlourishingThis project is a mock proposal to create a workshop that aims to allow children with ASD to improve emotional regulation during social interactions and well-being. The goal is to hold workshops that enhance participants’ emotional regulation, coping skills, and stress management, in order to enhance quality of life. This creates support, improves inclusivity, and develops social skills for those with ASD. Limited attention spans and sensory sensitivities are taken into account by incorporating engaging activities and a sensory-friendly environment. The workshop requires research to create curriculum, implementation, and collecting data on progress. Comparing before and after data results is beneficial to show the positive impact of these tailored emotional regulation programs on children with ASD.

Assessing Patients' Experiences in Radiology: Enhancing Comfort for Claustrophobic MRI PatientsClaustrophobia is a common fear experienced by individuals undergoing MRI scans, which can significantly impact their comfort and overall experience. During this senior project, various methods for alleviating claustrophobia in MRI patients were explored. The importance of addressing this issue to improve patient satisfaction, reduce scan disruptions, and enhance diagnostic accuracy was highlighted. These included pre-scan interventions such as patient education, communication, and counseling to manage anxiety levels effectively. The use of relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, meditation, or listening to calming music sounds during the procedure was also discussed. Healthcare workers can enhance the overall experience for their patients while ensuring high-quality imaging results.

Patient Scheduling And Organization: Effectiveness Of MyChart Messages For Scheduling Follow Up AppointmentsScheduling follow up appointments at Woburn Pediatrics is important to providing quality care for patients. This project focused on the effectiveness of "MyChart" messages. This process consisted of checking who was due for follow-up appointments and when, and then sending them a "MyChart" message that it is time to reschedule. The effectiveness of MyChart messages is dependent on how many people viewed and called the office to reschedule an appointment. After reviewing all of the MyChart messages I determined that out of the 350 messages, 284 appointments were scheduled. MyChart messages help dramatically with the scheduling process at Woburn Pediatrics.

Youth Outcomes in Various School Settings: Big Brothers Big Sisters Analysis of 2022 MatchingThis study compares a public and private school within the Greater Boston area; The Thomas Edison and Sacred Heart Stem schools. Information was gathered through a database company called Salesforce. Within youth inquiries it shows evaluations recorded by volunteers, guardians, and youth who participate in this mentoring program. A randomized name generator was used to select the names of students of the Thomas Edison School because more matches were created at this school within 2022. Information on Salesforce is limited since everything is self-administered but after analyzing the results of strength and relationship evaluations (SOR) and guardian and youth (SEL) evaluations it was determined that there is an overall positive correlation of improvement in youth within six months.

Health Advocacy and Promotion: Creating Changes in Fitness Programs that Target AccessibilityAccessibility is a general term used to describe one's ability to be able to perform. This project aimed to outline the issues that people with brain trauma experience and how that creates hardships for the individual. Activities were highlighted that we may not consider to be a privilege, but rather showcase that even simple tasks, like reading the time, can make their workout sessions extremely difficult. Before this internship project, cognitive and physical abilities were only documented, but resolutions were assumed. Now, there will be a section in patient charts that will include accommodations for participants who need more accessibility aid, not just during fitness sessions but for the entirety of their time at the facility.

Improving Motor Skills & Attention Span with Legos: Lego GroupThe objective of this project was to improve autistic individuals’ motor skills and attention span with Lego activities. A group of 9 individuals were placed into 3 groups in order to gather data regarding their attention spans, to determine if any assistance was needed, and if they were able to follow the instructions of the building manuals. Each table had several sets of Legos and instruction manuals on how to build them, most of the sets were fairly simple so it would not be too challenging for some of the individuals. By the end of my project I found that the individuals’ attention spans had increased and the individuals needed little to no help building sets or reading through the instruction manual.
