The RDSP and DTC Blueprint: Turning Eligibility into Long-term Financial Security
May 5 @ 6:30 pm – 7:45 pm
The Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) is one of the most powerful—and underused—financial programs in Canada.
Offering up to $90,000 in government grants and bonds, the RDSP has the potential to transform long-term financial security for individuals living with disabilities. Yet, hundreds of thousands of eligible Canadians either don’t have one, or don’t fully understand how to maximize it.
In this webinar, RDSP Educator Trish Van Sickle and Disability Tax Credit (DTC) Specialist Dr. Wayne McLeod walk you through the full journey, starting with the RDSP and connecting it back to the Disability Tax Credit that unlocks it.
Tuesday, May 5
6:30 – 7:45 p.m.
Online via Sinneave Connects
Attendees will learn:
- How the RDSP works
- Who qualifies
- How to maximize government grants, bonds, and long-term growth
- Common mistakes families make when opening an RDSP
- Key questions to ask any institution before choosing where to open one
- The Disability Tax Credit explained
- Why DTC applications get denied and how to strengthen them.
This session is education-first and designed to empower individuals, families, caregivers, and professionals with clarity, confidence, and actionable knowledge. There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end.
Whether you are newly approved for the DTC, considering applying, or supporting someone who may qualify, this webinar will help you understand the full opportunity available—and how to make the most of it. Attendees are encouraged to invite a parent, partner, or support person if they would like someone close to them to learn alongside them.

Trish Van Sickle is a passionate RDSP educator on a mission to ensure no eligible Canadian misses out on one of the most powerful financial programs in the country: the Registered Disability Savings Plan.
Despite offering up to $90,000 in government grants and bonds, hundreds of thousands of eligible Canadians still do not have an RDSP simply because they don’t understand how it works or where to start. That’s where Trish steps in.
She simplifies the complex, breaks down the rules, and focuses on education first. Whether families work with her directly or choose another institution, she equips them with the knowledge, confidence, and the right questions to ask so they can properly set up, manage, and maximize their RDSP.
Her mission is bold and clear: raise awareness, close the education gap, and connect as many Canadians as possible to the financial security they deserve.
