Lars, I am very aware of special needs children/adults having one in my own immediate family. Also, my Sister has just retired after 40 years of teaching special needs children.
I consider myself an educated individual with well over 6 years of High School but for the life of me I cant understand your question.
Lets leave "children" out of the equation and just speak of life. That being the scenario, I would allow Mr.Jackson to proceed with his assignment.
