Texas Child-Centered Care Consulting

At Colton Strawser Consulting, we help agencies successfully navigate Texas Child-Centered Care (T3C)—a landmark transformation of the foster care system. From building treatment and logic models to developing policies, procedures, and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) plans, our team provides the expertise and tools agencies need to prepare for credentialing and thrive under the new framework.

T3C replaces the former Service Level System with a streamlined assessment and placement process, 24 Service Packages, and three Add-On Services, all supported by a new funding methodology. These changes bring greater alignment between the cost of care and the services provided, creating more stability for Residential Child Care providers and caregivers.

Our role is to guide agencies through this transition, offering customized consulting solutions that meet organizations where they are and set them up for long-term success.

Customized Consulting Packages to Meet Organizations Where They Are

We understand that agencies are at different stages of readiness when preparing to apply for credentialing under the new T3C guidelines. Below is an overview of three consulting packages, each designed to meet clients at their current stage and provide the right level of support.
