wraparound building a child and family team,
identifying strengths and needs of the child and
family, developing an action plan, and using data
to guide the wrap team. Participants will learn
the four phases of wraparound and become familiar
with the Wraparound Integrity Tool (WIT).

4What Do we Know about the Tertiary Level
- Requires real talent and skills (Rob Horner)
- Applies Art (of engagement) and Science (of
interventions) - Needs to happen sooner for many
students/families - Gets tougher with each system failure
- Requires thinking differently with kids and
families - Is easier in schools proficient with school-wide
PBIS - Includes system/practice/data components

6WHAT IS WRAPAROUND?
- PROCESS NOT A SERVICE
- Wraparound is a commitment to create services and
supports on a one kid at a time basis for youth
with complex needs and their families. - Wraparound is an important component of PBIS
- Wraparound integrates community supports
- Basic Hypothesis If the needs of a child and
family are met, it is likely that the child and
family will have a good, or at least improved
life.
7Wraparound
- used with individual youth
- plans reflect voice, priorities of youth and
family - based on unique youth and family needs
- culturally relevant teams and plans
- built upon youth, family and provider strengths
- uses traditional and non-traditional
interventions - encompasses multiple life domains
- resources are blended must be flexible
- services are planned, implemented, and evaluated
by a team - team supports youth, family and providers
- unconditional - if the plan doesnt work, change
the plan
8 Needs based interventions will
- Change the environment around the situation
rather than waiting for the person with the unmet
need to do the changing - Help build skills for the child and the childs
supporters (family, teachers, neighbors,
relatives, etc.) - Access existing resources when there is fit,
avoid existing resources when there is not
9Important to Remember
- A wrap plan would be an addition to universal
and secondary interventions. - Sometimes a secondary intervention can be enough.
10Why do Wraparound?
- Provide support to children and families
experiencing difficulties in home, school and/or
community - Access full range of supports in the life of the
child and family - Surround the child and family with a TEAM
- Utilizes data to guide decision making
- Provide supports and services to deflect children
and families from more intensive services or more
restrictive placements.
11Life Domain Areas
- Educational
- Physical needs/living situation
- Family attachment
- Safety
- Socialization
- Cultural/spiritual
- Emotional/psychological
- Health
- Legal
12Wraparound Made Simple
- Identify a child (at risk? data?)
- Get commitment from child and family
- Who is on your team?
- Find the strengths
- Identify and prioritize needs
- Put together an ACTION plan (data??)
- Implement
- Follow up, change plan as needed, celebrate
successes
13Four Phases of Wraparound Implementation
Wraparound Integrity Tool (WIT)
- Phase I Team Preparation
- Get people ready to be a team
- Complete strengths/needs chats (baseline data)
- Phase II Initial Plan Development
- Hold initial planning meetings (integrate data)
- Develop a team culture (use data to establish
voice) - Phase III Plan Implementation Refinement
- Hold team meetings to review plans (ongoing data
collection and use) - Modify, adapt adjust team plan (based on data)
- Phase IV Plan Completion Transition
- Define good enough (Data-based decision-making)
- Unwrap
-
14Data-based Decision-making
- Can teams use data to prioritize needs, design
strategies, monitor progress of the
child/family team?
- more efficient teams, meetings, and plans?
- less reactive (emotion-based) actions?
- more strategic actions?
- more effective outcomes?
- longer-term commitment to maintain success?

Something we just DO!
20- The focus of the Tertiary Team is all about
- L-I-N-K-I-N-G
- FAMILIES, TEACHERS, CAREGIVERS, and SERVICE
PROVIDERS into one consistently developed and
carefully monitored service plan.
21- As a result of the Tertiary Approach, we can
help students be successful by developing an
individualized, comprehensive plan that crosses
home, school, and community.
22The students at the Tertiary Level of
intervention often qualify for WRAPAROUND
23Who qualifies for WRAPAROUND?
- Students whose needs are sudden or have continued
over time despite interventions. - Students who participate in special or regular
education.
24- WRAPAROUND is also used when a students
emotional needs are high, yet there is a lack of
parental buy-in with the student and/or with the
school.
25- In order to engage families, it is important
to allow parents to choose a meeting location
that feels good, safe, and non-threatening to
them.
26- Once the family identifies the WRAPAROUND Team,
individualized plans can be made to promote the
students success.
27- After needs are identified and a plan is
developed, DATA is collected in order to measure
the success of the interventions. - Data includes grades, ODRs, ISS, OSS
Attendance
28- From that data, we can see what needs must still
be met along with the progress of the student. - This data can be shared and celebrated during
Team meetings. - Parents can feel listened to, students can
belong, and educators can ignite the flames of
success!
29Lucy
- Lucy presented in 6th grade as an average student
but was often involved in middle school drama. - She received 1 ODR for fighting and was suspended

30Lucy continued
- By 7th grade, Lucy grades are sliding and has 11
referrals for theft, disrespect, obscenities,
aggressive behavior, insubordination, disruption
in classroom, tardies, chronic misbehavior. - Interventions team meetings, individual
counseling, parent conferences, phone calls home,
cease and desist contract, family was seeking
outside psychiatric care for Lucy
31Lucy continued
- By 8th grade, Lucy returned to school having been
hospitalized for mental health issues. - Family was overwhelmed financially and
emotionally - Parents did not want psychiatric diagnosis
disclosed to staff.
32Reason for Referral to Tertiary
- Suffering from visual, auditory and tactile
hallucinations which impacted Lucys ability to
stay in class. - Lucy was vomiting throughout the building and
using multiple physical complaints to avoid
class. - Lucy was provoking other students and initiating
fights leading to suspension from school.
33Function of Behavior
