Bows and Ribbons, Tape and Twine: wrapping the wraparound process for children with multi-system needs
Article Abstract:
The wraparound approach to service delivery is in an embryonic stage, and studies dealing with it represent a first generation thought. Further research on wraparound process depends on the availability of resources, providing careful definition and implementation of the process, and the presence of strong commitment at all levels towards building wraparound research. A lack of attention in these areas is a failure to invest in families with multi-system needs.

Exploring the theory and paradigm base for wraparound
Article Abstract:
The wraparound model asserts the importance of the family as a decision-making participant in supporting children with serious emotional disturbances. However, the fidelity of the model is threatened by a developmental paradox because it has been defined only through value-based principles. To ensure the integrity of this collaborative model, a single construct with an operative focus is recommended for a more effective application of the model.

Reliability of the wraparound observation form: an instrument to measure the wraparound process
Article Abstract:
The Wraparound Observation Form (WOF) is a reliable evaluation instrument for assessing the effectivity of administration of wraparound process in treatment planning strategies. The WOF process is composed of 34 close-ended items that asks respondents to write down the occurrence and non-occurrence of particular events and behaviors at treatment planning meetings. However, its use is limited to measuring wraparound processes in team meetings.
