Education Student Accounts (ESA+) Scholarship
Financial support for North Carolina families raising children with disabilities
ESA+ scholarship funds help families pay for education and services for children with disabilities—including certain qualifying developmental and educational supports.
Support for North Carolina Families
The Education Student Accounts (ESA+) program helps North Carolina families pay for education and services for children with disabilities. For many families, developmental evaluations, educational therapy, tutoring, and related supports are essential—but navigating payment options can feel overwhelming.
NeuroKids Developmental Pediatrics is an enrolled ESA+ provider and is approved to accept ESA+ scholarship funds. We want families to understand how the program works, what may qualify, and how to plan thoughtfully before committing to services.
What Families Should Know About ESA+
These are the key points we share with families exploring ESA+ as a payment option for developmental pediatric care and related supports:
Qualifying Expenses
Families may use ESA+ funds for certain qualifying education expenses, such as educational therapy, tutoring and supplemental teaching services, and transportation to and from an educational activity—subject to review and approval by SEAA.
Enrolled Provider Status
NeuroKids Developmental Pediatrics is an enrolled provider for the ESA+ scholarship and is approved to accept ESA+ scholarship funds.
Not All Services Qualify
Not all services offered may meet the criteria for qualifying education expenses under the ESA+ scholarship. Families should review program guidelines before committing to care.
SEAA Support
For questions about eligibility, allowable purchases, or reimbursement, families are encouraged to contact ESA@ncseaa.edu for guidance directly from the State Education Assistance Authority.
Plan Before You Book
We recommend confirming whether a specific NeuroKids service qualifies under current ESA+ rules before scheduling, so families can make informed financial decisions with confidence.
