What is ESE? (Exceptional Student Education)
ESE is designed for students in Florida who require special instruction and services due to disabilities. This ensures they receive the support they need for academic success.
Who Qualifies?
Students ages 3–21 who are eligible for ESE services, as determined by their school district, may participate in this program.
Why ACCESS?
The ACCESS Program helps students feel included and supported. They learn alongside their peers in traditional classroom settings, building understanding and respect for individual differences.
