How funding works

Two scholarships. One provider.

FES-UA (Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities) supports students ages 3 through 12th grade with a documented diagnosis — including autism, speech impairment, and related needs.

PEP (Personalized Education Program) is open to any Florida student not enrolled full-time in public or private school — no diagnosis required.

Both are Education Savings Accounts administered through Step Up For Students, and both cover therapy services billed as Direct Pay — meaning funds go straight from the scholarship to this practice.

  1. Confirm your scholarship

    Check your family's EMA portal to see whether your student holds an FES-UA or PEP award.

  2. Reach out for an intake

    Share your student's age, school status, and (for FES-UA) diagnosis documentation.

  3. We connect accounts

    Your scholarship account is linked to this practice as a registered Direct Pay provider.

  4. Sessions begin

    Invoices are submitted directly through the EMA portal — no reimbursement paperwork for you.
