Henson Trusts

Henson Trusts

Before the RDSP, the Henson Trust was a crucial estate planning tool for parents of disabled children. It allowed families to leave money in trust without jeopardizing the beneficiary’s access to essential services and income-tested support programs. This article offers a brief overview of Henson Trusts, points readers to a deeper resource from a trusted financial expert, and highlights key considerations like needing the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) and provincial implications, such as ODSP eligibility in Ontario. Whether you’re planning an estate or exploring RDSP alternatives, understanding the role of a Henson Trust is essential.

Autism Funding

New Ontario Autism Funding

The Ontario Autism Funding program, introduced in 2019, promised improvements but left many families, including the author’s, waiting indefinitely for financial support. While the government aimed to reduce waitlists by redistributing funding, the lack of clarity and bureaucratic delays frustrated families seeking essential services like occupational therapy and social support. The article highlights the financial strain parents face when covering therapy costs out-of-pocket and questions the long-term stability of the funding model. The system remains unpredictable, and families continue to navigate its uncertainties.
