Intellectual disability: Hillsborough private schools and FES-UA funding

Schools reporting intellectual disability typically run self-contained or heavily supported programs. 36 private schools in Hillsborough report serving this category to the Florida DOE; 25 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

Transition services, job coaching and pre-apprenticeship (16+) are FES-UA categories that matter most for this group.
The award can be used through age 22 for students still enrolled.

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 →
