Okay, please just consider this. I don't know how old your children are, but I am guessing that you both had your children vaccinated sometime after 1990 otherwise, you would not be speaking in terms of IEP's and school meetings, and teachers, etc.
Most folks are not aware of the levels of mercury used in the childhood (MMR, DPT, etc.) vacines. If my memory serves me correctly, it's used as a preservative in the vaccine.
I had my son (age 26 now) vaccinated starting in 1982 and he was pretty much finished with all of the "requireds" by 1984/1985. I think we were able to sneek by on the last round of shots until he got busted at college this term.
Anyway, the point is, in the mid to late 1980's (85-87) was when "they" started using mercury as a preservative. Now I'm writing just from memory so please do your own research on this.
Check out the most common symptoms of mercury poisoning. You may be surprized. Heck if you are willing to forego the drug treatment the physicians are recommending for your kids and seek alternatives, look into what might be the root cause fist.
Chelation therapy might help - and that can be done either by blood cleaning or with supplements or both. Much depends, I think, on the toxicity level of the metal(s) involved. Senator Kennedy (not Teddy) has done some great work on this issue. check out the research and good luck. I hope this is somewhat helpful.
