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

Autism is the second most commonly reported category among Broward private schools and the largest FES-UA group statewide. 71 Broward private schools report serving this category to the Florida DOE, and 45 of them are also flagged for the Private School Scholarship.

Copied from the state record. School details here come from the Florida Department of Education Private School Directory (Broward district), pulled October 28, 2026. The scholarship flags are the state's own participation flags for that date. Florida does not collect tuition, so ask the school for its price.

What can the FES-UA account pay for a Broward student with autism spectrum disorder?

Within program rules the account can cover tuition and allowed school fees, along with licensed therapies, credentialed tutors, curriculum, devices, specialized summer programs and testing.

Beyond tuition, FES-UA covers applied behavior analysis delivered by or supervised by a BCBA, speech and occupational therapy, specialized summer programs and sensory tools.
A diagnosis from a licensed physician or psychologist qualifies, as does a diagnosis from a Florida-licensed physician assistant acting on a physician's behalf (new for 2026-27) or an existing IEP.
