Autism spectrum disorder: Hillsborough private schools and FES-UA funding

Autism is reported by more than 50 Hillsborough private schools and is the largest FES-UA population statewide. 59 private schools in Hillsborough report serving this category to the Florida DOE; 43 also accept the state scholarship.

Verified against the state record. School details on this page are reproduced from the Florida Department of Education Private School Directory (Hillsborough district), retrieved October 17, 2026. Scholarship participation reflects the state's FTC/FES-EO participating-school flag on that date. Tuition is not reported to the state — confirm it with the school.

What the FES-UA account pays for

FES-UA pays ABA by or under a BCBA, speech-language and occupational therapy, specialized summer programs and sensory materials in addition to tuition.
A diagnosis from a licensed physician, psychologist — or, since 2026-27, a Florida-licensed physician assistant on a physician's behalf — qualifies; an IEP also qualifies.

The account can pay the school's tuition and eligible fees, licensed therapies (ABA, speech, OT, PT, counseling), credentialed tutors, curriculum, devices and assistive technology, specialized summer programs, testing and evaluations. See every category →
