If you have a child with a disability in Texas, this could be the most important 20 minutes you spend this month.

Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) offers most families one funding amount โ€” but families with children with disabilities could qualify for something significantly higher. The difference comes down to a few specific steps, one hard deadline, and one decision most homeschooling parents get completely wrong.

In Part 3 of the TEFA series, Crystal and Anthony Obey go deep on disability funding so you walk away knowing exactly what to do next.
