Unlock the Power of Florida’s FES-UA Scholarship for Your Child’s Success with Special Ed Resource

Florida’s Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA) gives you the ability to fund personalized tutoring and learning programs for your child with special needs—at no cost to you.

At Special Ed Resource, we know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to find the right educational support for children with special needs. We faced these challenges ourselves—navigating public school limitations while searching for effective learning options for our autistic child. That experience led us to create Special Ed Resource in 2014.

Today, we help families across the country personalize their child’s learning with expert one-on-one online tutoring, tailored homeschooling plans, and compassionate, experienced support.

Florida’s FES-UA scholarship makes this possible at no out-of-pocket cost for eligible families. The program provides flexible funding to support a wide variety of learning needs—including tutoring, curriculum, therapies, and more.

While both Florida’s FES-UA and Arizona’s ESA program offer flexible, parent-directed education accounts, FES-UA is uniquely tailored for children with disabilities, and managed through state-approved Scholarship Funding Organizations (SFOs). We’re here to help you make the most of every benefit it offers.
