AARC Q & F III
« on: February 07, 2009, 01:43:47 PM »
Dr. Ronald Dougan, a Registered Psychologist in the Province of Alberta, visited KIDS of Bergen County in 1989, on behalf of the Calgary Downtown Rotary Club.  He was a member of the committee which hired Dean Vause, and served as a consultant on Dean's doctoral committee.  He says of the AARC program:

“We very conscientiously and intentionally designed a program that was very different from the KIDS Inc. model.”

Since Dr. Dookie had visited Kids, an institution so aberrant that Social Worker Sandi Levy Barbero left after four days and alerted state authorities to the abuses in kids, why would he want to hire a Kids employee, such as the Wiz?

If AARC was based on the Wiz's research for his PhD, and Dr. Dookie consulted on the doctoral committee, it would seem that Dr. Dookie had a relationship with the Wiz that predates AARC.  Would that relationship have anything to do with Dookie's visit to Kids, where the Wiz was working?

Since Dookie and co. were still pushing Kids of the Canadian West as late as the Spring of 1990, it would seem that they were slow learners.  Which makes it all the more astounding that they opened AARC in '92, what with the Wiz being two years away from completing his research.
