individual who is attending as an eligible expense.

In order to claim any of the above eligible expenses, one needs to provide written documentation that the individual indeed does have a learning disability ( a letter from a doctor or psychologist( along with original receipts of services purchased (please keep a copy for your files). When it comes to tutoring services, guidelines have not been established by Revenue Canada regarding the qualifications of tutoring service providers.
