Hi there-
I hear and understand that a number of you folks have concerns. I hope we can remember that these staff are human beings who have helped many families positively and have chosen their jobs for that reason. I am really surprised at some of the remarks I?ve seen on here about staff. Having had a child at HLA, I have worked with Ms. Fuglsang and can say she is a reliable and honest individual who puts her heart into her work with these kids. I truly trusted her to follow through and care for my child. She helped us so very much. I think that having to accept that your child and family need help is the hardest thing a parent can do. Accepting help from another adult with our child was painful for me. Each of us deals with is differently, and has to learn to cope with the feelings it brings up- for me it was shame, hurt, and honestly, desperation that I wasn?t able to fix the situation myself. Let?s face it, Dr. Spock doesn?t cover everything! I can honestly say that in our situation, trusting in the process and staying engaged allowed us to grow tremendously as a family.
I am thankful Ms. Fuglsang was a part of that process- she was able to help us through in a time when we questioned if we could.
I wish each of you the best with your families.
