Is Your Child Eligible for the Indiana Education Scholarship Account?
APPLICATION DEADLINE - SEPT. 1, 2023
(Please note: Indiana ESA information in this post was obtained from the Indiana Treasurer of State website.)

Hundreds of thousands of students throughout Indiana live with special needs that make fitting into a traditional school setting difficult. But the Indiana Education Scholarship Account can make it easier.

The INESA provides scholarship funding to eligible Indiana students with disabilities, helping parents customize schooling if their child is receiving non-public education – such as private education, at-home learning, and other non-public educational settings that qualify. But how do you know if your child is eligible for the INESA?

Five key eligibility requirements include that your student must be:
1. 5 years of age or older
2. In a K-12 grade level
3. Less than 22 years of age by Oct. 1, 2023
4. Requires Individualized Education Plan (IEP, ISP, or ESA SP)
5. At or below income level. (Family of four $222,000.)

To find all of the eligibility requirements, a checklist, and frequently asked questions, go to https://www.in.gov/tos/inesa/parent-page/
Keep in mind that the deadline is 11:59 p.m. on Sept. 1, 2023!

Eligible Hoosier Children with Disabilities May Apply for Scholarship Funding. Go to https://www.in.gov/tos/inesa/home/ for more information on eligibility criteria.

This rings true for so many of the students we work with who have dyslexia whose voices often get shut down as being argumentative. Dyslexia is a language processing disorder that causes students to have a hard time explaining how they feel in a way that an adult can truly understand. All children have difficulty expressing their feelings, but children with dyslexia struggle even more with this than a typical child. So, if you think the child is arguing with you, instead of arguing back or shutting them down, start saying back to them in a kind and loving way what they are saying. Ask them questions about what they are feeling and how you can help. As soon as they figure out that you are listening and validating their feelings, you will see their whole demeanor change. It's miraculous really. I definitely have done my share of arguing back with my own kids instead of really listening to them, but I have learned so much from my daughters and my students, and I continue to grow every day. That is all that our kids ask from the adults in their lives...that we try our best to listen and validate them and that we continue to mature emotionally each day, just as they do.
