How do unique abilities & learning differences work with Florida funding in Orange County?
A student with a qualifying diagnosis or IEP can fund a school through the Unique Abilities Scholarship, whose Orange County base award is larger than the standard one.
Every school listed here reported at least one disability category to the Florida DOE. The exact categories sit on each school's page, apart from the FES-UA flag; since almost every scholarship school also carries that flag, it says little about specialization.

The table puts the two sides next to each other.
| It is | It is not | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it is for | Students with a listed diagnosis, an IEP or a matrix of services | Not open on a parent's say-so without documentation |
| What it pays | School tuition plus therapies, tutors, curriculum and assistive technology | Not limited to a school seat |
| Reported categories | Whatever the school tells the state it serves | Not a promise of current openings or an on-staff therapist |
