Quality literacy intervention is an investment — and you shouldn't have to navigate the funding landscape alone. Summit Reads is committed to helping families identify every available resource. Below is an overview of funding options that may help cover the cost of services.
Summit Reads is an approved Jon Peterson provider. The JPSN Scholarship is available to Ohio students in grades K–12 who have a current IEP from their school district of residence. As of July 2024, this scholarship can benefit your child for up to $13,600 per year. Scholarship funds are paid directly to the approved provider and can be used for specialized instruction and related services outlined in the IEP.

Ohio's Autism Scholarship Program allows Ohio students on the autism spectrum to receive vouchers for up to $32,445 annually for education services from a private provider. To be eligible, students must have been identified by their school district as autistic and have a current, finalized IEP. Families may apply for the Autism Scholarship Program year-round, and once awarded, the scholarship expires at the end of the fiscal year on June 30th — families may reapply annually as long as the child remains eligible.
If your child is an Autism Scholarship recipient and you'd like to use those funds at Summit Reads, please reach out so we can discuss your child's IEP goals and confirm eligibility.
Did you know your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) may cover the cost of structured literacy tutoring at Summit Reads? Dyslexia treatment is eligible for reimbursement with a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from a physician with a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA), or a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA).
For students with a documented diagnosis of dyslexia or a related reading disability, tutoring that addresses the underlying condition is generally considered an eligible medical expense — meaning you can use pre-tax dollars to pay for services. To qualify, your child's physician, psychologist, or diagnostician will need to provide a Letter of Medical Necessity confirming the diagnosis and recommending specialized reading intervention.
Once you have that letter on file with your HSA/FSA administrator, you can submit Summit Reads invoices for reimbursement or pay directly using your HSA/FSA debit card. Summit Reads provides detailed, itemized invoices with all information typically required by HSA/FSA administrators. Every family's plan is different, so we recommend confirming eligibility with your plan administrator before your first session.
Summit Reads also welcomes private pay families. We believe every child deserves access to high-quality, evidence-based literacy instruction, and we are happy to discuss our current fee schedule and session structure. Contact us to schedule a consultation.
Navigating scholarship programs and funding options can feel overwhelming — especially when you're already advocating hard for your child. We're here to help. Reach out to Summit Reads and we'll help you figure out which option is the best fit for your family.
