Every week a parent tells me some version of the same sentence: "We want to keep using it, but money is tight this month." I never argue with that sentence. Families like ours are already paying for therapies, evaluations, special diets, and the forty other things insurance decided were optional. A subscription — even a small one — has to earn its place in that budget.
So this is the announcement I've wanted to make for a while: VizyPlan is now an approved vendor on ClassWallet. If your child has an Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account, your ESA funds can pay for VizyPlan directly — which for most families means nothing out of pocket at all.
What an ESA is, in one paragraph
Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account program gives families state education funds to spend on their child's learning — curriculum, tutoring, therapies, and educational technology. The money sits in an account you direct, and Arizona disburses it through a platform called ClassWallet, where you pay approved vendors directly from your child's funds. Visual scheduling software built for autistic and ADHD learners is exactly the kind of educational support the program exists to cover.
How to pay for VizyPlan with your ESA
Step 1 — start the free trial first. Set up VizyPlan at app.vizyplan.com with the free 7-day trial (no card required). Build your child's first routine and make sure they respond to it before you spend a dollar of your award. Your ESA funds are precious — I'd rather you test first.
Step 2 — log in to ClassWallet. Use your ESA parent account, the same place you handle your other program purchases.
Step 3 — find VizyPlan among approved vendors and submit the payment. I recommend running the annual plan ($59.99) through ClassWallet: it's one transaction, one approval, and your child is covered for a full year — no monthly resubmitting.
Step 4 — if anything looks confusing, email me. Write to info@vizyplan.com and I'll walk you through it personally. I'm the founder, and I answer these emails myself — usually the same day.
What to tell your ESA coordinator it's for
If you're asked to describe the purchase: "Educational software providing visual scheduling, routine-building, and executive-function support for a student with autism/ADHD." If your child has an IEP or 504 plan, it's worth mentioning that VizyPlan includes an IEP/504 summary export their team can use — it makes the educational purpose obvious.
Not in Arizona?
More states are launching education savings programs every year, and several use ClassWallet or similar platforms. If your family has education funds through your state, email info@vizyplan.com with your state and program name — I'll tell you honestly whether it can work with VizyPlan yet, and if it can't, I'll start the paperwork on our end. Some families have also used HSA/FSA funds when VizyPlan was recommended by their child's provider, and some state waiver programs cover assistive technology — ask your coordinator, and ask me.
The price of a tool should never be the reason a child keeps struggling with mornings. If the funds exist to remove that barrier for your family, I want you to use them.
