HCQU Northwest Forms and Resources

Internet Safety Curriculum for Individuals/Self-Advocates

We recently created an online Internet Safety Curriculum for Individuals/Self-Advocates. We also created a manual for anyone who supports an individual with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and/or Autism (IDA). This manual is designed to help you help the person/s you support avoid being scammed by someone online, as well as by phone or text message. Click here to download the manual.

The HCQU Training and Resource Guide for Sexuality: Education and Abuse is now available. Click the link above to view or download a copy.

If you are a Supports Coordinator and would like to request an individual review, download this form.

Our Training Syllabus is now in booklet form. It is best printed landscape as a booklet. If your printer doesn't offer booklet printing, we recommend printing landscape, double-sided with the page flipped on the short side.

While my daughter is experiencing many changes in her life right now and struggling to maintain some stability, I am thankful for the Milestone Work Activity Center, where she attends three days per week. It is the only constant in her life right now. I appreciate the understanding and flexibility they give to my daughter.

Milestone HCQU West's 'Commonly Prescribed Medications' course is really helpful. With this training I understand the importance of observing individuals before and after a medication has been administered.

- HCQU West Trainee, Loyalhanna, PA

The home study training courses offered by Milestone HCQU Northwest are a lifesaver for me! They are interesting and informative and most importantly, convenient to my schedule. I even share the home study courses with my staff, who are required to complete 12 hours of annual training. The topics are relevant to our issues and we have used the information in the day-to-day care of our residents.

- Laura Mesoraco, Owner/Administrator, AM/PM Personal Care Home, Inc.

I’m so grateful because Milestone fills a void for my son. He is much more sociable and gets along better with family members.

- Carol, mother of a Milestone client

I am writing in regard to Amy Simon (Milestone HCQU West) and her trainings. She is absolutely awesome! I learned so much from her. I loved how she interacted with the individuals, staff and myself. Amy never talked above anyone and was so matter of fact. Amy was always kind, hands-on and asked the individual for permission to complete things. I cannot say enough about how positive Amy is and how well she teaches. I am so glad I was able to meet Amy. So many times with what we do, we only hear the bad that we do!!! Amy is just wonderful!!!

- Jennifer Comperatore, FamilyLinks Supports Coordinator

This was the first Milestone HCQU West webinar in which I participated and I found it to be worthwhile. I recommended upcoming webinars to my coworkers and lifesharing families.
