I used to babysit a girl, age 5, and she had Down syndrome. She could walk and play but she couldn't take back. I would have to feed her medicine a certain time every day and would have to change her diaper and put her in bed. I learned that kids with special needs just need love and they will love you back. Also, my friend's little brother has cerebral palsy and he couldn't walk or sit up on his own. He was capable of talking and could hold a conversation. In order to work with kids like him, again you just need to show them that you care and they will love you back.
