Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas

Family Medical Leave Act of 1993

Do learning disabilities fall under the FMLA? I have a child who is AD/HD and is a year behind in Math. He needs to be tutored outside of school in order to catch up to his class. I wish to take off 1 hour early from work each day in order to get him to the tutor, but my company is balking.
