I have a 2 year old who needed speech therapy per my pediatrician. He goes once a week for a half hour at $40 a week.

Yes, this can be included as a medical expense; however, you can only claim medical expenses over 10% (7.5% if you're 65 or older) of your adjusted gross income and if you itemize your deductions.

Yes, as a medical expense on Sch A if you itemize. But your total medical expense has to be greater than 10% of your AGI to get any deduction.
