Deductions & credits

Interesting.  So, my understanding is medical expenses that don't exceed a certain percent of my income can't be deducted.  Hence, if this were to qualify as a dependent care expense, then I'd still have been able to get $ back when doing taxes.  Now, as it is indeed for therapy that the child sees the counselor, but it is also in-effect childcare, am I not allowed to choose which way to classify it?
