Developmental delay: Orange County private schools and FES-UA funding

Because FES-UA begins at age 3, developmental delay is how many Orange County preschool households enter the program. The Florida DOE record shows 49 Orange County private schools serving this category; 41 of them also take the Private School Scholarship.

Source and date. School details on this page come from the Florida Department of Education Private School Directory (Orange County district), pulled October 28, 2026. The scholarship flags show what the state recorded on that date. Tuition is not reported to the state, so confirm it with the school.

What can an FES-UA account pay for with developmental delay?

From age 3, the account can cover a private preschool, wraparound charges beyond the VPK hours, therapies and specialized summer programs.
If a VPK provider also reports this category, the family can use VPK for the free hours and FES-UA for therapy and extended days.

Beyond tuition and eligible school fees, an account may cover licensed therapies (ABA, speech, OT, PT, counseling), credentialed tutors, curriculum, devices, assistive technology, specialized summer programs, testing and evaluations. See every category →

How many of these schools take FES-UA, and how many take the standard scholarship?

The overlap is relevant because a child can hold just one of these programs at once.
