As part of psychological testing, Dr. Pratt asks parents to gather medical and mental health records. Records from birth to the present give Dr. Pratt context to better understand psychological testing results.

Dr. Pratt prefers records in a PDF format shard with him through www.dropbox.com. Please create a folder using the student's full name and list Dr. Pratt as an editor to the folder. Alternatively, Dr. Pratt can scan and return paper records that are brought to The Pratt Center.
