The Challenge

Aspect schools support students on the autism spectrum across multiple campuses. Teachers and administrators needed a centralised system to monitor student progress on social, emotional, and academic milestones. The existing reports were fragmented and inconsistent, making it difficult to answer key questions:

• How are students progressing in communication and interaction skills?

• Which areas require additional assistance or intervention?

• How do outcomes vary across classes, campuses, and year levels?

• Can data visualisations reveal early patterns of growth or challenges?

Educators were spending significant time compiling assessment results manually, leaving less time for instruction and one-on-one support.

Our Solution

GrowthBI developed a Power BI–based Academic Performance Dashboard that unified student assessment responses from all campuses into a single, interactive analytics view.

The solution enabled Aspect schools to measure student development systematically and use data to guide teaching strategies.

Key Features:

• Student Progress Analysis: Tracks communication, social interaction, and behavioural milestones (e.g., initiating greetings, maintaining eye contact, recognising emotions).

• Performance Segmentation: Categorises responses into Meeting Independently, Working with Assistance, and Not Meeting for actionable intervention planning.

• Academic Engagement Analytics: Measures participation in classroom discussions and collaboration with peers.

• Drill-Down Flexibility: Filters available by School, Campus, Class, and Student for detailed insight.

• Response Distribution: Highlights the most frequently observed skills and learning gaps to prioritise support.
