Your TEFA funds can work on focus, not just tuition.
Rhett Edwards Counseling & Coaching is an approved TEFA vendor — which means your Texas Education Freedom Account can pay for LENS neurofeedback, an educational therapy for attention, focus, and self-regulation.
TEFA is Texas's new school-choice program: funded families get an education account to spend on approved schools, services, and therapies through the Odyssey marketplace. Funds start landing in family accounts in July 2026 — and if your student struggles with focus, follow-through, or big emotional swings at school, this page explains exactly how those funds can help.
Award amounts for the 2026–27 school year, per the Texas Comptroller's final rules.
The disability tier is the one many families miss: ADHD commonly qualifies a student for an IEP under the "Other Health Impairment" category — and disability-tier families received the first round of TEFA awards. If that's your kid, your account likely has room for educational therapy after tuition.
Three steps — all purchases happen inside your Odyssey parent portal.
Find the listing
In your Odyssey parent portal, search the marketplace for LENS neurofeedback or behavioral therapy near Spring–Klein / Tomball, and look for Rhett Edwards Counseling & Coaching.
Purchase there
Buy the brain-mapping session or a session package inside the portal with your TEFA funds. (State rules: I can't invoice you directly — everything runs through Odyssey.)
Book your times
Reach out and we'll schedule — sessions are short (15–20 minutes), in person near Gleannloch Farms. Not sure about fit? Do the free consult before you purchase anything.
The honest version — including what TEFA won't cover.
What is TEFA, in plain English?
Texas Education Freedom Accounts are the state's new school-choice program — $1 billion in year one. Funded families get an education account they can spend through an approved marketplace: most students receive $10,474 per year, students with a disability and an IEP can receive up to $30,000, and homeschool families receive $2,000. Funds arrive in family accounts starting July 2026.
Why does LENS qualify?
TEFA covers "educational therapies" — services that support a student's learning and school functioning — as long as the service is NOT covered by the child's insurance. LENS neurofeedback is private-pay (insurance doesn't cover it), and it directly targets the things that show up at school: attention, focus, emotional self-regulation, and steadier behavior. That makes it a clean fit. Talk therapy billed through insurance is generally not TEFA-eligible — ask me about your situation on a free consult.
How do I actually pay with TEFA funds?
All TEFA purchases happen inside your Odyssey parent portal — I'm not allowed to invoice you directly, and you can't pay me TEFA funds in the office. You find my listing in the marketplace, purchase the session or package there, and then we book your times. Same prices as this website: $225 for the brain-mapping first session, $115 per session after that.
What ages do you work with?
The TEFA marketplace covers ages 5–18. My counseling practice starts at 13, and the right starting age for LENS depends on the kid — bring your child's age to the free consult and I'll give you a straight answer about fit.
Where are you, and do we have to come in person?
The office is in Spring–Klein at the entrance to Gleannloch Farms — an easy drive from Tomball, Klein, Cypress, Champions, and The Woodlands, and close to families in Klein, Tomball, and Cy-Fair ISDs. LENS sessions are in person (they're short — typically 15–20 minutes). Counseling can be in person or online anywhere in Texas.
What does a LENS session look like for my kid?
Short and completely passive. Sensors go on the scalp, the system reads brainwave activity and feeds back a tiny, imperceptible signal, and your kid just sits there — no screens to watch, no tasks to perform, nothing to "get right." Most families notice changes — calmer, more focused, sleeping better — within the first several sessions.
TEFA is administered by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts with Odyssey as program administrator. Rhett Edwards Counseling & Coaching is an independent approved vendor and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the State of Texas. Program rules, amounts, and timelines can change — confirm details in your Odyssey parent portal or at educationfreedom.texas.gov.
