Summary
Community Services Manager Leahan Drone briefed the committee that the CLTS/CCOP program provides services to 274 children across three counties with no wait list; Oneida County serves 172 clients and staff are expanding outreach and hiring.
Leahan Drone, Community Service Manager, presented July 20 on the Children's Long Term Support/Children's Community Options Program (CLTS/CCOP), telling the committee the program "is providing services to 274 children in all three counties. There is no wait list." She said Oneida County currently has 172 clients and that services cover people aged 0–22.
Drone said the office is "the provider of last resort" and reviewed tools used with families, including the Deciding Together Guide and a CCOP brochure that explains eligible uses of funding. Drone said they have seven workers with one more starting shortly in the Vilas office and that she is working on outreach to grow community awareness of the program.
During questions, Tiffany Rohan raised a barrier for children ages 3–5: "it takes a year to get into Kohler Behavioral Health in order to get a diagnosis to be deemed eligible for the program." Drone said staff are "looking at the child's medical record to see if there are eligible diagnosis in those records instead of having to wait for the psychological evaluation done through Kohler Behavioral Health."
