Peter, if you can't trust health professionals and specialists to determine what the health needs of a special needs child are, who can you trust? Sure the parents get final say, but it's not like they went out and got a degree in pediatric medicine to figure out what they should be doing, they likely talked to a doctor (or some pseudo-medical practitioner or documentation) about these things.
