To:Jenny Tsou

from: Hassan Al Khatab ( Tax Professional)

my son is in receiving of this payment as he has Autism.
please first call CRA at 18009598281 then press # so you can speak to the customer service directly without the need to wait and listen for recorded messages…etc.

then ask them about applying to Disability tax payment. they even may backdated to you?!!
i am not sure if your son has already DTC, if not you may need to print out T2201 ( just google "T2201" ) and have it filled out by your family doctor.

please call me at 604-218-0155 if you need more help.

My son is already 17 and 1/2 and I want to start applying for federal disability benefits for him. (I learned that he can receive the benefit from 18).

I had hard time finding the correct website and the forms. Please let me know how to find the information. Thank you very much!

Holiday greetings to those of you running a bonafide, ABA treatment program for your children.

My daughter put every ornament on our Christmas tree by herself this year, correctly identifying each one. She participated in her school’s Christmas choir, singing Christmas Carols. She also participated in line-dancing at the Christmas dance on the last day of school before Christmas break.

My daughter is now 17 yrs. old. She has been in an ABA treatment program for 14 yrs. All of her achievements were due to the thousands of hours of one-on-one treatment. This treatment has enabled her to enjoy the Christmas activities that typically developing children enjoy.

I now look forward to Christmas morning, as my daughter has learned how to open presents, turn-take with gift-opening, and even clean up the wrappings after the gift-opening is finished.
My Behaviour Consultant, Miss Shelley Davis, specifically designed programs for each one of these achievements.

It is vital that this science-backed, peer-reviewed, bonafide treatment for Autism be covered by Medicare. Please take time this holiday season to view the film, “Medicare’s Orphans” on the Medicare for Autism Now! website.

Thank you to Jean Lewis and David Marley, founders of Medicare for Autism Now!, who spent 2 years on this film which chronicles the 14 years of advocacy, litigation in a succinct 42 minute documentary.

Sincerest thanks to Dr. Sabrina Freeman who founded FEATBC in 1996, bringing the message to Canada, that Autism treatment exists, it works, and it is called Applied Behaviour Analysis. Her blog, “Autism Pundit” is a must-read.

I'm wondering which iPad apps parents would suggest for a non-verbal child with ASD. Our son is 3 yrs old and non-verbal. I've heard proloquo2go is a great app, but would appreciate advice on other useful apps for communication/vocabulary/speech development.

Thank you!
