I have taken care of a special needs boy in the past. He was 17 years old but had the mentality of a 5-year-old. The job was difficult but he was a joy to work with. He needed constant attention and supervision. At the beginning, he was not speaking at all but as I interacted with him on a daily basis, he began to speak a few words. It is such a wonderful feeling knowing I was able to help in his development.
