Children's Long Term Support/Children's Community Options Program
Children's Long-Term Support/Children's Community Options Program
The Children's Long-Term Support (CLTS) and Children's Community Options Program (CCOP) are two Wisconsin programs that help support children with long-term disability and their families.
CLTS is a Waiver that provides Medicaid funding for children who have substantial limitations in their daily activities and need support to remain in their home or community. Eligible children include those with developmental disabilities, severe emotional disturbances, and physical disabilities. Funding can be used to support a range of different services based on an assessment of the needs of the child and family which can include: respite, adaptive aids, supportive home care, home modifications, daily living skills, and specialized medical and therapeutic supplies.
CCOP provides similar services but is a more flexible source of State Funding that can also cover other services such as recreational activities and some assistance with childcare or other services that may not be covered under the CLTS Waiver.
How to apply for CLTS/CCOP
To apply for CLTS and/or CCOP a family needs to call the Adams County Access Social Worker at (608) 339-4505 or email to make a referral. You and your family will be contacted to complete the application process.
