Deductions & credits

Yes, but  a child's disability doesn't affect tax filing until he turns 19 (24 if a full time student). Then his disability allows him to continue to be considered a "Qualifying Child" for tax purposes regardless of age. There are no additional credits or deductions, for being disabled, other than that some items, e.g. special schooling, can be considered medical expenses.
