About the CCS & CLTS Dual Program
The CCS & CLTS dually enrolled program is a community-based and recovery-oriented program that helps children with disabilities under the age of 22 and their caregivers through supports and service coordination that help children grow and live their best lives.
Service facilitation includes partnering with an enrolled participant and family, helping to guide the team by coordinating services, and making appropriate service linkages to assist the person/family in meeting their stated goals. Those enrolled in CCS & CLTS have access a wide service array and may use Medicaid to fund additional non-medical services and supports not customarily offered.

- Client-directed and individualized approach to care coordination
- Recovery oriented and strengths-based approach
- Focus on community supports
- Team approach to care coordination and support
