I have seen Sam Brown and carried out assessments related to ASD using three tools; Mullen Scales of Early Learning, Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, and Autism Diagnostic Interview. These have helped in determining, whether or not, the delay in language and communication skills, and repetitive behavior is related to autism.Sam Brown was responsive in the assessment. Also, his parents were quite helpful in providing information related to his development. In summary, the results showed by the assessment tools showed no significant abnormalities related to his growth. However, it was noted that Sam

Yours faithfullyJoanna SmithCase study ReportThis report based on an ASD assessment done by Sam Brown. He was born on 25th January 2011.
