What is the role of the County Waiver Agency?

Rock County’s role is to assist families and children in the initial application process and service coordination when a child is receiving CLTS Waiver services. This includes working with the family to develop an Individualized Service Plan (ISP) that will include the services and supports that are needed to address the child and family’s unique needs. Service coordinators continue to work with children and their families to assure that all needs are being met over time and under changing circumstances.

What is the role of the family?

You and your child are encouraged to voice your thoughts, concerns, and ideas at every step to help develop the Individual Service Plan (ISP). The ISP is the unique plan of supports and services for your child and family.

Parents are assessed a parental fee which contributes towards the cost of services. The fee is calculated based on household income and services utilized.
