Oh yes, and if my parents wanted to have a night by themselves. Would anyone know of any baby-sitting services for her age and disability?

If you go to Guest Relations and explain your situation to them then they would most likely give you a card with accommodations for your sister. This card probably would act more like a fast pass, where you would still have a small line to stand through but not the real thing. During the parades and shows they do have disabled areas/seating so your sister can enjoy herself out of the way of others.
Just to be on the safe side it would probably help if you bring some type of proof of your sisters condition.
Hope this has helped in some way, also that your sister and family have a wonderful trip.

Go to Guest relations in any park and explain your sisters issues and you will be given a Guest assistance card that you will need to show to the first attendant at every ride/attraction you will be entering . Contrary to what other people believe this is not a front of the line pass, the majority of the time you have to wait as long or longer than the people in the normal line.There are tons of things to do at Disney for the disabled and the Cast members are absolutely wonderful at making these kids feel special.
Note: You DO NOT have to provide proof of your sisters medical conditions. That is against the law and Disney could get into big trouble for asking.,
I've taken my Physically and mentally disabled daughter to Disney many times and would be happy to give you some tips and answer any questions you may have through email.

Your best bet would be to call Disney World (check the website for the number) directly and they can answer any question you would have. Also, check here, there might be some info to help you.
