The account is open to parents of children with disabilities who may be eligible for funding to help customize their education to meet their individual needs. Funding can include options such as private education, at-home learning and other non-public educational settings.

“Having walked this journey with my own family, we know how crucial it is for parents to have options and support to meet their children’s unique education needs that come with disabilities,” said Indiana Treasurer of State Daniel Elliott in a press release.
