Empowering students with disabilities to unlock their full potential, North Carolina's Education Student Accounts (ESA+) program is an exciting alternative for families seeking individualized learning paths. Through ESA+, eligible students receive funds, up to $9,000 or even $17,000 for specific disabilities, to customize their education. This opens doors to private schools, homeschooling resources, tutoring, and a range of therapeutic services like speech and occupational therapy.
To qualify, students need an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and be enrolled in a public school. If they meet the federal definition of "child with disabilities" under IDEA, they're well on their way.
Remember, with ESA+ comes the responsibility of choosing and managing your child's educational journey. But, the NCSEAA offers a helpful list of approved providers, and annual reports ensure responsible use of funds.
Ultimately, ESA+ empowers families to tailor their child's education to their unique needs and learning styles. If you're seeking greater flexibility and choice for your disabled student, explore the possibilities of ESA+ and unlock a brighter, more personalized learning path.
