What 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

WHAT 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.

Wraparound

• 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

9
Important to Remember

• A wrap plan would be an addition to universal
  and secondary interventions.
• Sometimes a secondary intervention can be enough.

10
Why 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.

11
Life Domain Areas

• Educational
• Physical needs/living situation
• Family attachment
• Safety
• Socialization
• Cultural/spiritual
• Emotional/psychological
• Health
• Legal

12
Wraparound 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

13
Four 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

14
Data-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?
