There is a burgeoning need to consider new ways of providing early education services for young and often newly diagnosed children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families. Such children do not respond naturally to direct curricular delivery, typically utilized in inclusive classrooms that predominate public education, but instead, need an educational model incorporating intra and interpersonal development skills. Also, there is an essential need for the facility to keep track of and addressing uneven progress in specific areas; characteristic of learners with ASD. In this paper, ranking feature selection techniques like Information Gain, Chi-Square, Gain Ratio, ReliefF are used for pre-processing the ASD dataset.
