Answer 3

The "care" is the same for all children. Good food, rest, clean clothes, toys and lots of hugs. Special needs kids usually have organizations that will help. My grandson was born with down syndrome and he doesn't speak. He goes to school in a class for special needs kids and he gets to compete in special olympics. It's important to know each child well enough to know their potential and help them reach it. what an ordinary accomplishment is to most kids is a big deal for our Darin and he is proud of himself because we are proud of him. One important thing...have a doctor tell you the child's "mental age". If his capacity is that of a 7 year old then you won't be upset if his behavior is 7 year old behavior when he is 12. See what I mean? Help him grow but remember his limits. Good luck.
