When I write longer treatment plans, I prefer to use Word, then copy and paste it into a progress note. The only problem is that AASC online converts it to a jumbled mess! Pangea says they are working to correct this and hope to have a remedy soon. Meanwhile, Pangea suggests using Notepad (in the Dell Start menu) because it makes a much cleaner progress note.
Update: Pangea did a great job adapting their program so now we can copy from Word, no problem!!

Copy/Paste Treatment Plans from Word to AASC Progress Note
AASC Webinar on Fair Housing
Attached is the powerpoint from the AASC Webinar on Fair Housing.
Practical Application of the Federal Fair Housing Act
Presenters: Judy Wolk, Attorney, Judith B. Wolk, LLC, Charleston, S.C.; and Dorothy Davis, Director of Service Coordination, N&H Enterprises, Decatur, Georgia
The presentation will provide an overview of the Federal Fair Housing Act and its impact on housing providers. Particular attention will be paid to the applicability of fair housing law to persons with disabilities and how to identify and handle requests for accommodations. Understanding the often confusing “do’s and don’ts” of the Act is critical to avoiding infractions that can lead to unpleasant results and/or litigation.
Monitoring Best Practices
Monitoring is a critical part of a service coordinator’s relationship with members and residents. Thank you all for sharing tips on how you continuously engage with clients over time. It would be terrific to generate a list of helpful probing questions to aid in the ongoing assessment of how members/residents are doing in the monitoring phase. Please comment!
Recording 3 new AASC resources annually
Last Fall, while I was working on the HUD reports I read that SC’s have a requirement to add at least three new resources to AASC each year. So, whenever I add a new resource on AASC, I am typing in the notes section the date that I entered it. Then I print off my copies for the resource directories. One copy of the new resource goes in my “HUD reporting folder” where I compile anything I may need for the next HUD report. Hope this was helpful!
About bullying behavior…

Veterans Benefits
From AASC:
For Your Information
Confused About Veteran Pension Benefits?
Do you receive questions about VA benefits? If so, check out this new fact sheet, recently released by the Veterans Benefits Administration.
The fact sheet explains the different types of veteran pension benefits and who may be eligible. The VA’s pension program provides monthly benefit payments to certain wartime Veterans with financial need, and their survivors.
Large print resources
Pangea did not know of a way to enlarge the print so I can give large print AASC resources to members. After some trial and error, I also made my resource list for the co-op in large print, and listed by catagory. Here is what I eventually figured out…Clearly I am no genius on the computer! :0 )
Click on the resource you want to hand out, then on Print, Preferences, Effects, click on percentage of normal size and change the percentage (I like 125% ), Click on Finishing, Landscape, OK, and finally Print.
