One thing that I am familiar with, having had a child diagnosed on the autism spectrum, is that there is a federal deduction for a child with severe disabilities. I believe it's to the tune of about $9,000, $10,000. I haven't done it for about six or seven years because my child is now off the spectrum and doesn't qualify.
There is a deduction on the federal return. I'm not familiar with one on the Ontario provincial tax return. I had mentioned about the Income Tax Act being looked at.
A pediatrician could suggest carnitine or eating yoghurt or a probiotic after being on antibiotics. We look at curriculums that maybe a behavioural specialist has recommended. We can look at sensory items that an occupational therapist can recommend.
Parents are going out and buying services because they're on a waiting list and then they're being audited on whom they've chosen to purchase the services from.
Clearly, there's work that we can do here. If they're spending their after-tax dollars, surely they must feel it's important.
