I would continue with the timeouts and be persistent with his meals. I had a dcb similar to this and at one point thought about terming him. I didn't because I needed the income and in the process stuck to my guns with him. He no longer hits. He still isn't the greatest eater but is getting better. I always save his favorites for last so that he eats veggies and stuff first. As for his developmental issues. Work with him as much as you can and then ask mom a lot of questions about his at home behavior to hopefully get the wheels turning. Then maybe she'll have him tested. Good luck, hope this helps!
