Our goal is to optimize your experience with our organization, and to provide easily accessible tools and information to aid in supporting people with IDD or Autism. The DSP Handbook app is intended to be a tool that connects you to information and services. As such, we do not collect or use any data about users who download it. Permission to access the user’s location is requested solely for the purpose of tracking aggregate data on where Pocket HCQU is being used/accessed. Access to your geographic location is not necessary for the app to work properly and can be denied or turned off at any time. Permission to access any media/files/photos/storage/etc. is to intended to allow users to send email with attachments. Turning off these permissions will not affect the usability of the rest of the app. The mission of the Milestone Health Care Quality Unit (HCQU) is to enhance the overall health and wellness of people with intellectual disabilities and autism throughout our nine-county region in western Pennsylvania. We collaborate with providers of services, families, and self-advocates to educate on proactive ways to maintain and improve health.
