Deductions & credits

It depends.

Based upon your information provided above, the only way it would be a medical expense is if hiring the consultant was at the request of a physician.

You cannot include the costs of sending a child to a school for behavioral problems if medical care is not the main reason to send them there.

If the expenses were incurred based upon a doctor's recommendation because of the mental impairments, then you can deduct the costs of tuition, meals and lodging as part of your medical expense.  But the main reason for going to the school is to overcome the learning disabilities.
