Frequently Asked Questions
01
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Families who will be approved for this program must:
-
Be an Ohio resident
-
Have a student with an IEP or 504 Plan
-
Be experiencing financial hardship
02
WHAT IF I CAN'T FIND SOMEONE?
If you cannot find a learning provider in your area that's a good fit, we encourage you to find someone through your personal networks. However, to pay them using your granted funding, they must be added to the LearningOhio website by filling out the Provider Application. You also have the option to do virtual sessions with providers outside of your area, so you are not limited by proximity.
03
WHAT If I have a provider in mind ALREADY?
Great! This way of using the program has been highly successful. Please have them fill out a Provider Application. They will need a current Background Check (BCI) or active ODE License.
04
DO MY FUNDS EXPIRE?
All funds for the fall session 2021 expire on January 15,, 2022. All funds for 2022 Winter Program begin on January 16, 2022 and expire on March 31, 2022.
05
CAN I REAPPLY?
If this program were to continue into the 2021-2022 school year, families would be alerted by email and our site would be updated with a new enrollment application for new families.
06
how do educators get paid?
Learning providers will be paid directly by the site administrator, only when families book using their AppointmentsPlus account. If it is not on the calendar, the family is responsible to pay for services out of pocket.
07
Can I or someone on my family be a provider for my student?
We do not allow immediate family members or any family member living in the same household to be paid providers through this program. We consider these “natural supports”. Immediate family members include the student’s siblings, parents or grandparents by blood, marriage or adoption.
08
CAN I apply for multiple students?
If you have more than one student with an IEP or 504 Plan, please apply for each student on a separate application. You can be awarded one grant per student for the upcoming grant period.
