Medical Expenses

In addition to child care, we also paid someone to care for our disabled child while we are at work.  Can  the expense paid in excess of allowable child care amount be claimed as medical expense?

No, the care would have to qualify as a medical expense to be deductible.  This link Medical Expenses Checklist has information you may find helpful.
