The CLTS Waiver Program is for children with developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, and severe emotional disturbances. The CLTS Waiver is funded through a combination of federal, state, and local match dollars. The purpose of the waiver is to help families support their children with severe disabilities at home. Federal rules define how CLTS Waiver funding can be used.
