The Villages is famous as America's largest retirement community — but it's not purely a retirement city. The greater Villages area spans parts of Marion, Lake, and Sumter counties, and the surrounding communities include families with school-age children, as well as grandparents who are actively raising grandchildren. Grandparent-headed households navigating a grandchild's autism diagnosis, dyslexia, or ADHD often face a unique set of challenges: they may be less familiar with current special education terminology, and they may be managing guardianship or custody arrangements alongside educational advocacy.
We work with families and grandparent households throughout the Villages area and surrounding communities in Sumter, Marion, and Lake counties. Whether you're a parent in Wildwood or Lady Lake, or a grandparent raising a grandchild with special needs in The Villages itself, our tutors are ready to help. We explain everything clearly, welcome all your questions about IEPs and the FES-UA process, and make sure you feel supported — not just your child.
The FES-UA scholarship is available to qualified students in all three counties. We bill Step Up For Students directly — no out-of-pocket cost. Book your free consultation today.
