Adapting Community-Based Wraparound for Use as an Intensive Intervention in Schools

July 30, 2025 | NWI

Abstract: Multi-Tiered System of Supports and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports frameworks focus on providing effective Tier 1 (universal), Tier 2 (selected), and Tier 3 (individualized) strategies to meet all students’ behavioral and emotional needs. However, there are few Tier 3 models that provide support spanning home, community, and school for students with serious emotional and behavioral challenges (SEBC). This U.S. study used expert and local input to (a) develop practice guidelines and implementation supports for a school-based Wraparound care planning and coordination model and (b) evaluate school feasibility and readiness to implement systems, practices, and data.
