How the IEP amount is set
It is $10,474 plus what your district of residence would receive for the instructional setting code on the IEP. In Houston ISD that means about $15,700-16,800 for most settings and up to about $25,600 for residential-facility codes.
Finding a school
Our Special Education section lists schools that report special education services, dyslexia programs, speech or occupational therapy in the state finder, plus specialized schools from the federal survey.
Therapies on the marketplace
Speech, occupational, physical and behavioral therapy are eligible when not covered by Medicaid, other government benefits or private insurance. We list the approved Houston therapists by specialty.
No IEP yet?
Without a current IEP on file with TEA, the award is the standard $10,474. Ask your district for an evaluation well before the next application window.
