I entered demographic data into the risk calculator and say how it displayed different images based on the data I provided. Based on the information that I entered into the Risk Calculator, it was interesting to see how the graph and percentage changed.

Icon Array Generator: ASD Prevalence

By utilizing the IconArray, I was able to display the prevalence of children with ASD in comparison to children without ASD. Using the data statistics found here, I was able to create an IconArray. As I was creating my icon array, I discovered that I was not able to use percentage statistics, so I was unable to use the data that I had previously wanted to use. Using this tool, I was guided through the steps of how to construct an icon array and provided with options for how to customize your own, which was a new experience for me since I had never created one before. For learning about Data Visualizations, the Icon Array generator step-by-step instructions on how to create an icon array that visualizes the data. In my field of Health Science, I am always interested in applying different data visuals that I learn to my related field. In general, I felt the site offered some valuable aspects when it comes to learning about data visualizations. It offered gender-specific icons as well as an option to chose a shape to depict a graphical representation of the data. As a result, I was able to change the title and subheadings in order to indicate to audience viewers what data I was discussing rather than just displaying icon arrays with no intended meaning.
