Q. Is a special dyslexia school, in which we're paying private school tuition for, deducted as medical?

A. Yes.

But, medical deductions are only an itemized deduction. You only get to deduct that portion of you medical deductions that exceed 7.5% of your AGI. To get any benefit, the total of all your itemized deductions must also exceed your standard deduction ($14,600 Single, $29,200 Married filing jointly).
