Independent Educational Evaluators of America

The company misrepresented the cost of preparing a forensic report into the historical academic record, current educational, psychological, and behavioral evaluation, and appropriateness of the educational program provided by a public school by a factor of 4. They represented that the writing of the report after testing and in-person observations would cost approximately $900-$1,200, by omitting to disclose that the preparation of data for said report would cost approximately $3,520.

Furthermore, the expert failed to explain the steps taken to compile the report, the use and sources of the data, ignored questions about assumptions, inferences, and conclusions made in the report, and resisted to fully explain the basis for these, unless paid an hourly fee.

Expert also ignored direction to desist from any further work unless those questions were addressed, continued working on drafts and demanded hourly rate for those.

Additionally, the report had several errors in the review of student's historical academic record, and the expert refused to include additional behavioral assessments from students' instructors, that would have affected the conclusions reached about his behavioral profile.

The forensic report adopted positions provided by the school without any factual basis, and although expert was unable to provide reasoning for their inclusion, she refused to remove them from the report.
