Hi,
I'm looking for some information about services available for autistic children in Edmonton, Alberta. If you have family or a friend with an autistic child who lives in Alberta please forward my email to them. We're considering moving to alberta, and I'm concerned how ABA services are primarily agency based there.
If you have any experience, or know a bit about autism services structure in Alberta, please reply!
Thank you,
Pamm

Hi Carmen,
I strongly recommend you check out asdfunding.com. You will find all BC related tax information for your child's therapy.
If both parents work, you can claim extra expenses under daycare and get the highest tax rate back. If not, you can claim it under medical expenses (tutoring). But read asdfunding.com to get more details and more information on disability credits.

[Carmen Chan]

I have a question regarding income tax, hope someone can help me on it.

I am wondering whether we can claim the money we paid to all the BI every month on our income tax?
