Re: disturbing the peace
Normally, the landlord can make rules to regulate noise and reduce tenant friction. However, since the tenants are disabled, they are entitled to request a reasonable accommodation for their disability. If they were not deaf they presumably could quiet their child more easily.
Have them ask in writing for an exception to this rule. It is entirely proper to negotiate for something they can do to reduce noise even if it is not exactly what the landlord requested.
