This new document from the NWI provides guidance on how to meet these criteria.

WrapStat will provide a more powerful method for users of the Wraparound Fidelity Index (WFI-EZ), Team Observation Measure (TOM), and Document Assessment and Review Tool (DART) to collect, manage, and report on Wraparound implementation, fidelity, satisfaction, and outcomes.
