Any Advice On Volunteer Work?

I'm a 16 year old girl who is going to volunteer this summer at a local stable that offers therapy to children with cerebral palsy through the use of horses. Does anyone have advice or things that could help me be more useful, other than with the horses,of course, I'm well experienced with them.
Thanks,

Don't treat them like a baby. My sister has CP and nothing pisses her off more! Talk to them normally and look in their eyes when you talk to them. If you have any questions email me. Spolsa@hotmail.com
