Feeding Impairment Disability Tax Credit

How feeding impairment affects a person’s daily life Feeding is an important self-care skill, commonly delayed in children with severe visual impairments. Due to vision loss, it is reported that some of these patients tend to prefer drinking smooth liquids rather than solid foods. This is because vision loss can cause oral hypersensitivity, causing these visually impaired patients to gag or vomit when attempting to eat solid foods.

Malnourished children tend to experience developmental delays, weight-loss, and illnesses resulting in lack of protein, calories, or other key nutrients. There are both short-term and long-term implications of malnourishment in children.

With regards to the short-term focus, young children who are malnourished may face immune and growth implications. Immune implications mean that the child’s immune system is weak and they are more susceptible to infectious diseases.

Eligibility Criteria for Disability Tax Credit for those suffering from Feeding Impairment The feeding impairment section does not include identifying, shopping, or procuring food. However, feeding does include preparing food. These preparations are not inclusive to the time associated to dietary restrictions or regime, even when these are required due to an illness or health condition. To be considered as markedly restricted in feeding, examples include requiring tube feedings, all or most of the time (at least 90% of the time).
