>I'm pretty sure that the "developmentally disabled children" bit precludes informed consent
Your comment reminds me old joke: "Doctor, you forgot about anaesthesia before surgical operation!" — "Don't worry, patient is mute.".
There are many kinds of development disabilities. It was not ever said anything about mental disabilities.
