Testimonials
When my son entered third grade he was reading at a first grade level. After just six weeks at The Reading Clinic, he was up to grade level. I couldn't believe how easy it was for him to get, and how much he enjoyed the whole process.
-Cooper Raphael,
Mother
The Reading Clinic has instilled confidence in several of my students. Children in my class have graduated from the clinic and actually taught some reading in the classroom. It's similar to giving a child glasses to read. It can make a world of difference!
-Aileen Carew,
2nd Grade Teacher
After six weeks, the results were miraculous. Not only could he read, he wanted to read. The LIPS Program addressed Spencer's particular learning needs and gave him the tools necessary to become a good reader. The Reading Clinic completely transformed him from a boy who was becoming withdrawn and increasingly frustrated with school, to a boy who is now confident, happy, and enthusiastic about learning. This past summer, Spencer won third place in a writing contest.
-Debra Maddox, Mother/Educational Consultant
For the first time in my life something in school is coming naturally. It's easier for me to follow lectures, understand key concepts and complete my homework. I can concentrate and understand the main idea. On the October SATs I even felt the reading comprehension part was sort of... well... fun. I no longer dread reading but actually find it entertaining.

Psychological Evaluations and Effective Advocacy: Practical Advice for Parents of School-Aged Children
Dr. Brendan Pratt
Parents often have their children undergo comprehensive educational or psychological evaluations, but they may be left wondering what it all means and what they can do about it. Dr. Pratt will explain how to understand the results of an evaluation and how to translate those results into an effective educational plan. He will discuss the details of an IEP team meeting including the perspective of the various participants. He will then give parents practical suggestions for educational advocacy. He also will be available to answer questions from the audience.
Dr. Pratt is a licensed psychologist who specializes in psychological evaluations, educational advocacy and school placement assistance. He is the past president of the Santa Clara County Psychological Association and has been on the Board of Directors of the California Psychological Association. He also co-authored the book, Parents' Guide to School Selection in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties (2006).
