Educational Support for Students with Disabilities

Waitlist for enrollment

Learning Aid Ohio exists to subsidize the cost to hire tutors, aides, or in-home providers who can provide learning support for students on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or Section 504 Plans.  Our program offers each qualified student up to $1,500.00 per semester to spend on services through LearningOhio.com.  The primary goal of Learning Aid Ohio is to provide opportunities for meaningful educational experiences for students in response to the challenging school year of distance learning.  We know that students with IEPs and 504s have individualized accommodations that are difficult to achieve without in-person help, and this program aims to bridge the gap in services to promote academic success and growth.
