When the school district has completed testing of a student, the parent or guardian may disagree with the assessment, and they may request an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) at public expense. Dr. Pratt is frequently hired by parents to complete an IEE.

Parent Reviews

Anonymous parent reviews are from former clients who have posted to public websites.

"Dr. Pratt tested our child when they were 7 years old, and it was the best thing we ever did in regards to pinpointing the educational help our child needed for their success. Our child has a high IQ and is very social but also exhibits ADHD to the point that it took a very patient and kind person like Dr. Pratt to get our child to take the battery of tests."
"It was great that Dr. Pratt was able to observe our child in the classroom and then meet with the team at our child's school to go over the best learning strategies/accommodations for them. This has helped our child to succeed over the past 6 years at their school, as well as advocate their needs."
"As a Mom, who's also an administrator and educator and has taught Kindergarten through Law School for the past 20 years, I can definitely say that Dr. Pratt is one of the best psychologists I've ever met. Thank you, Dr. Pratt!!"
"Dr. Pratt is incredibly effective and professional but at the same time, very kind and caring. We are grateful that we approached Dr. Pratt when we first suspected learning disabilities with our son. Dr. Pratt was helpful beyond words. Our son, now in college, is confident and thriving, because of the guidance and help he received from Dr. Pratt."
"Dr. Pratt performed a full psych-ed evaluation, wrote a report and attended an IEP for my son who is entering high school. I know from past experience that without Dr. Pratt's report and support during the IEP, I probably would not have come close to receiving the services and accommodations my son will need to succeed in high school. Dr. Pratt was responsive and supportive throughout the process."
"Dr. Pratt is very knowledgeable and evaluates and interacts with the patient with a lot of professionalism and care. He answered all my questions in detail and was very responsive to requests outside our scheduled appointments. He was a strong advocate of our daughter and helped the school provide the appropriate intervention for our child."
"It is my great pleasure to write this long overdue review for Dr. Brendan Pratt. He comes with our highest recommendation. I have just come home from an IEP meeting at my son's 9th grade school. It went incredibly well, thanks to the fantastic evaluation written by Dr. Pratt. The school psychologist said at our meeting that Dr. Pratt's report was one of the best he has ever seen, and it was obvious that he has worked successfully with many school districts and knows exactly what the district will require in order to provide services."
