Update on CLTS Program/CCOP in response to COVID-19 pandemic and other changes/updates
• Opperman reports no real significant changes recently in response to COVID-19.
• According to the State, all parents, guardians, and caregivers should be considered Tier 1A for vaccine
roll out. Opperman worked with Wartman and Bayfield County Health Department to get them
enrolled by using “CLTS” in notes on website registration.
• It’s the time of year for conference notifications. Most are still being held virtually. The Autism Society
of Wisconsin will be held virtually in April instead of at the Kalahari. Circles of Life will also be virtual
in May. CLTS Program can help pay registration fees.
