You qualify to claim Family caregiver amount on line 367 and Disability amount for dependent on line 318. You also are allowed to claim attendant care expenses for the child if you had any.

Is a 2016 tax return for the dependant <18y old required. Child has been dependant for life but never filed. What are typical child care and disability supports deduction items?
