The CLTS Program supports families who have children, with substantial limitations in their daily activities, care for their children in their homes and community. A child’s eligibility is based on his or her functional limitations, which includes a physical, developmental or emotional limitation that restricts a child’s ability to carry out daily living activities, such as dressing, eating, communicating or mobility. The CLTS program is a voluntary program, funded by the federal and state government. To be enrolled in CLTS, a child also needs to be eligible for Medicaid.

What Supports and Services are Available

The CLTS program can help pay for supplies, services and supports above and beyond what private health insurance or Medicaid covers. CLTS services and supports are implemented based upon the goals and outcomes that the child and family identify with their social worker and treatment team. Some examples of possible services and supports include:

• Service coordination
• Adaptive aids
• Communication aids
• Daily living skills training
• Respite
• Home modifications
• Supportive home care
