Report
Van Dusen added so much stress to this already stressful time. Parents are consistently excluded (our experience and as reported from several other families), contrary to expert recommendation. Our student was eating 20 of 21 meals at home and VD refused to share suggestions on coaching during mealtime or any guidance on what we should serve (to be consistent with what they were allegedly teaching for nutrition or handling fear foods).
