    • Extended Benefits: Some extended benefits plans may cover Orton-Gillingham tutoring services, often classified as therapy for students with diagnosed learning disabilities. Check with your individual provider.

    • Medical Expense Tax Credit: Orton-Gillingham lessons may be eligible as a medical expense tax credit. Consult your accountant to explore this possibility.
