Parents and teachers will be asked to complete rating scales. You will receive two or three emails with a separate link for each form. There will be separate emails for each parent; rating scales are not valid when completed together. Dr. Pratt will contact you to discuss which teachers should receive these forms.


School Records

It is critical for Dr. Pratt to have all school records and previous evaluations regarding your child. When available, Dr. Pratt prefers to have records in a PDF format. Please do not send jpg files. Please share records using www.dropbox.com. Please create a folder with your child's name and share it with us as an Editor. Click here for recommendations on requesting school records. For public schools, the request must be in writing, and they may charge a copying fee. It should take less than a week for your child's school to a copy of all educational records.


School Emails

Emails to and from your child's teacher and other school staff can provide Dr. Pratt with a more complete picture of your child's strengths, areas of concern and accommodations. Please gather any emails that would help to create an accurate picture of your child and their education. Please do not forward emails to Dr. Pratt; instead, print to PDF so they can be shared as a document. Emails can be uploaded to dropbox.com along with school records.


Medical and Other Records

In addition to school records, Dr. Pratt needs all medical, mental health and other records. He prefers to have records in a PDF format that are shared in the same www.dropbox.com folder as the school records. Please see the link below for a list of Medical and Other Records that are needed.


Digital Photos and Videos

Please email us a digital photo of your child. This helps Dr. Pratt to remember your child clearly over time. Please also share a few brief video clips of child in a comfortable setting, such as social interactions at home.
