Education

As xmasbaby0, The Green Group, and toddhelm stated above you would be eligible to claim the expenses for your child to attend a private school for Dyslexia as a medical deduction. Per IRS Publication 502, you can include in medical expenses the cost (tuition, meals, and lodging) of attending a school that furnishes special education to help a child to overcome learning disabilities. The primary reason for attending the school must be to help the child overcome the disability and any ordinary education received must be incidental.
