I have taken care of a child with Downs syndrome for three weeks when I was in high school, and several toddlers and infants since then. A few had special needs. Most special needs children need special, close attention and need to be treated like a "normal" child. When they are closely monitored, it helps to make sure problems are averted. I feel that it is ultimately important that each child feels most special, because they deserve to. I was also a candy striper for two years in high school with patient contact.
