Step Up For Students
A Unique Education for a Unique Child
Children with unique abilities may have different needs when it comes to their education. And we believe they deserve an opportunity to thrive and learn in an environment that will best support their success.
The Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA) enables families to personalize the education of their students by directing funds to where they’re needed most.
The funds can be used for a combination of programs and approved expenses including therapists, specialists, curriculum, private school, a college savings account and more.”

Saturday night, Nicole had the honor of attending the Operation 300 Red, White, and Blue Bash— a beautiful evening dedicated to supporting Gold Star families and the children of fallen military and law enforcement heroes.
As a Navy veteran who proudly served three tours in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, this mission hits especially close to home. Operation 300 provides mentorship, adventure, and connection for children who’ve lost a parent in service to our country — helping them find strength, belonging, and hope.
At the Adult and Pediatric Institute, we believe in that same spirit of healing and resilience — standing beside families as they navigate life’s toughest challenges and discover what’s possible on the other side of loss.
We are so grateful to have been part of such an inspiring night of remembrance, patriotism, and community. ❤️🤍💙
