CTSS – Children’s Therapeutic Services and Supports

Who?

The CTSS – Children’s Therapeutic Services and Supports business package is for individuals looking to start a CTSS – Children’s Therapeutic Services and Supports company.

Why?

We have a workflow and system to get the CTSS license. Our fee is refundable which means you either get the license or your money back. Since we have done over 10 CTSS applications, we have experience with what will happen and how to navigate it quickly (although this process is notoriously slow due to the CTSS licensing division at DHS – which is outside our control)

What?
