Fact: Poverty among individuals with disabilities is often the result of systemic issues such as limited access to education, employment discrimination, and inadequate social support systems, rather than personal failure. #DisabilityRights #SystemicChange #InclusionMatters

December 3rd is Women’s Brain Health Day, a time to highlight how brain diseases affect women in Canada. Women are disproportionately impacted by conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and multiple sclerosis. For example, Alzheimer's disease is a leading cause of dementia, affecting a significant number of Canadian women, and dementia overall affects a substantial portion of the female population. This day serves as a reminder of the importance of raising awareness, supporting research, and advocating for better care and resources. By doing so, we can work towards improving brain health and quality of life for women across the country. #WomensBrainHealthDay #BrainHealthAwareness #AlzheimersAwareness #DementiaSupport #MSResearch #BrainHealthMatters

Fact: Disabilities can also impact mental health, social interactions, and daily living skills. Comprehensive support considers the whole person, addressing physical, emotional, and social needs. #DisabilityAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #InclusiveCommunity #EmpowermentThroughInclusion

Mobility limitations can stem from various conditions, including severe arthritis, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injuries. These conditions can make daily activities challenging, impacting tasks such as walking, standing, or using stairs, and often require assistance with personal care, transportation, and home modifications. For those facing mobility challenges, programs like the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) and the Assistive Devices Program (ADP) can offer significant support. The DTC provides tax relief for individuals with severe mobility impairments, while the ADP helps cover the cost of assistive devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, and specialized equipment. To qualify for these programs, individuals must provide medical documentation confirming the severity of their condition and its impact on daily life. Circle of Care can assist by guiding you through the application process, ensuring all necessary information is included, and helping you access the support you need to improve your quality of life. #MobilityChallenges #MedicalDocumentation #QualityOfLife #CircleOfCare #CanadaCaregiverCredit #ChildDisabilityBenefit #DisabilityTaxCredit #CanadaPensionPlanDisability #OntarioDisabilitySupportProgram

Securing approval for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is crucial for families with a child who has a disability, as it opens the door to additional financial support through the Child Disability Benefit. This benefit can provide vital extra funds to help cover the costs associated with your child's needs. Conditions that typically qualify for the DTC include severe forms of autism, cerebral palsy, visual and hearing impairments, and significant developmental or learning disabilities. These conditions often require special services, equipment, or therapies that can be costly. At Circle of Care, we are dedicated to guiding you through the DTC application process. Our experienced team can help gather the necessary medical documentation, complete the application forms, and ensure that all requirements are met. By assisting with the DTC application, we can help you unlock the Child Disability Benefit, providing your family with the financial support needed to enhance your child's quality of life. #DisabilityTaxCredit #ChildDisabilityBenefit #SpecialNeedsFamilies #CircleOfCare #CanadaCaregiverCredit
