    How PDSES program works
    The PDSES program, administered by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), provides a one-time $1,500 online grant for parents or legal guardians of eligible students who:

    • Are enrolled in a Texas public school
    • Receive special education services through an IEP
    • Have not previously received a PDSES grant

    These funds are designed to give families greater flexibility in accessing high-quality educational materials and services that directly support their child’s academic growth. PDSES funds are supplemental and do not replace services provided through your child’s school IEP.


    How PDSES Funds Can Be Used
    PDSES grants may be used for approved educational goods and services through the ClassWallet marketplace, including:

    📚 Educational Materials

      ✅ Curriculum and textbooks
      ✅ Learning workbooks and subscriptions
