Disability Tax Credit For Those with Learning Disabilities/Disorders
The Disability Tax Credit may be available to a family member supporting a minor with a learning disorder. The term learning disability and learning disorder (LD) refer to a group of disorders that affect a broad range of academic and functional skills including the ability to speak, listen, read, write, spell, reason, organize information, and do math.
However, some origins of neurological impairments include: •Heredity – Learning disabilities often run in the family. •Problems during pregnancy and birth – e.g. fetal exposure to alcohol or drugs, low birth weight, oxygen deprivation, or by premature or prolonged labor. •Accidents after birth – e.g. head injuries, malnutrition, or by toxic exposure (such as heavy metals or pesticides).
