According to tax law, you are entitled to claim your grandchild. This should have no effect on their disability status.

However, check your return with and without your grandchild to see if there is any tax benefit to claiming him, depending on your income.

If you have additional questions or details regarding this, please feel free to post in the comments for further clarification.
