  1. . Intensive Level PBIS: Integrating Wraparound Approaches in PBIS Schools Developing, Implementing & Evaluating Individualized Teams and Plans for Students with Comprehensive Needs & Their Families A 2-Day Training for Schools Implementing School-wide PBIS September, 2005 Lucille Eber Ed.D

  2. Overall Goals Training: • Understand a) key features of wraparound value base and process; b) wraparound as a component of a school-wide system of positive behavior support for all youth; and c) procedures for designing for individualized team and interventions for 1-5% of students and their families. 2. Gain experience with components of the wraparound process: a) engaging key players, b) team design c) strength and needs driven, and d) interventions/outcomes based. 3. Learn to apply data-based decision-making, self-assessment and monitoring procedures to ensure effectiveness of practices.

  3. Wraparound as a Component of a School-wide Positive Behavior Support System Are elements of wraparound consistent with approaches used in schools for all kids? • Proactive? • Strength-based? • Team-based? • Family centered? • Voice, ownership? • Natural supports?

  4. Academic Systems Behavioral Systems • Intensive, Individual Interventions • Individual Students • Assessment-based • High Intensity • Intensive, Individual Interventions • Individual Students • Assessment-based • Intense, durable procedures • Targeted Group Interventions • Some students (at-risk) • High efficiency • Rapid response • Targeted Interventions • Some students (at-risk) • High efficiency • Rapid response • Individual or Group • Universal Interventions • All students • Preventive, proactive • Universal Interventions • All settings, all students • Preventive, proactive Designing School-Wide Systems for Student Success 1-5% 1-5% 5-10% 5-10% 80-90% 80-90%

  9. 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 L. Eber 2005

  10. Individualized Comprehensive Teams/Plans • Who? • Youth with multiple needs across home, school, community • Youth with multiple life domain needs • The adults in youth’s life are not effectively • engaged in comprehensive planning • (i.e. adults not getting along very well) What? The development of a very unique, individualized, strength-based team & plan with the youth and family that is designed to improve quality of life as defined by the youth/family .

  11. Individualized, Comprehensive Teams/Plans What Do Intensive Plans include? Supports and interventions across multiple life domains and settings (i.e. behavior support plans, academic interventions, basic living supports, multi-agency strategies, family supports, community supports, etc.) What’s Different? Natural supports and unique strengths are emphasized in team and plan development. Youth/family access, voice, ownership are critical features. Plans include supports for adults/family as well as youth.

  12. Intensive Intervention • Facilitate/guide a wraparound team planning process • Family/student/teacher ownership of plan • Access full range of school and community support services across life domains • Home, school, community settings • Individualized academic and behavior interventions are integrated into wrap plans

  13. What Happens during the Wraparound process? The wraparound process creates a context for design & implementation of research-based behavioral, academic and clinical interventions

  14. Unique Fit Wraparound plans should be uniquely designed to fit individual students needs as opposed to making a student fit into a prescribed program.

  15. Integrating wraparound and PBIS • Establishing a school-wide system of positive behavior supports can establish environments in schools that help personnel feel more confident about wraparound approaches with students with significant needs.

  16. What is Wraparound? • Wraparound is a tool used to implement interagency systems of care in achieving better outcomes for youth and their families. • Wraparound is an important component of school-wide systems of positive behavior supports (PBS)

  17. What is Wraparound? (cont) • Wraparound is a process for developing family-centered teams and plans that are strength and needs based (not deficit based) across multiple settings and life domains. • Wraparound plans include natural supports, are culturally relevant, practical and realistic.

  18. What is Wraparound?(cont’d) • Blending perspectives of team members results in a variety of traditional and nontraditional strategies that are directly linked to agreed upon outcomes. • The wraparound process creates a context for effective implementation of research-based behavioral, academic and clinical interventions

  19. What happens during the wraparound process? Blending perspectives of team members results in a variety of traditional and nontraditional strategies that are directly linked to agreed upon outcomes.

  20. Life Domains Family, School, Community • Medical/Health • Recreational • Education/Vocational • Spiritual • Cultural • Social/Fun • Safety • Emotional/behavioral • Basic Needs • Legal • Relationships • Other

  21. Wraparound: • used with individual students • 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 • servicesare planned, implemented, and evaluated by a team • team supports youth, family and providers • unconditional - if the plan doesn’t work, change the plan

  22. Social Competence & Academic Achievement OUTCOMES Supporting Decision Making Supporting Staff Behavior DATA SYSTEMS PRACTICES Supporting Student Behavior

  23. How did a school-wide cool tool emerge from a Wraparound planning process for an individual student? • The team decided to develop a school-wide cool tool to • teach/shape “respectful interactions with adults” because: • concerns about being able to deliver consistent practice, prompts and reinforcers across all settings at school. • concerns that Simon would not be accepting of an individualized approach to teaching the desired behavior • the principal stated that Simon wasn’t the only student who needed teaching/practice of this behavior

  24. Value Base • Build on strengths to meet needs • One family-one plan • Community-based responsiveness • Increased parent choice • Increased family independence • Care for children in context of families • Care for families in context of community • Never give up P.Miles, 2004

  25. Establish Family Voice/Ownership • No blaming, no shaming • Start with strengths • They choose their own team • Focus on what they identify as needs • Listen to their story before the meeting • Validate their perspective • Communicate differently…..

  26. No Blame. No Shame. Means you are not allowed to have an opinion while hearing someone’s story (unless there is an imminent safety issue). -Pat Miles-

  27. How Do we Know if the Team is Truly Family-centered? Does the family ( including the youth ) feel like it is their meeting and their plan instead of feeling like they are attending a meeting the school or agency is having about them.

  28. Points to Remember aboutEngaging Families … • Remember that the professionals don’t get to choose or judge how families raise their kids. • Always start with a conversation ( not a meeting) with the family, getting their trust and permission before talking with others.

  29. A Definition of Unconditional Care • Students don’t fail “plans fail”. • When the plan fails, don’t blame the youth/family. • Instead, change the plan.

  30. Compare & Contrast • Break into smaller discussion groups. List the similarities and differences between what you’re doing now and Wraparound as it has just been defined.

  31. Using the Wraparound Process • Preparing for wraparound meetings through individual conversations with core team members is a critical first step. • The first contact with the family should feel different than being invited to a meeting. • A rich strength profile is a valuable tool for action planning.

  32. Examples of Guiding Questions to Assist in Initial Conversations • What has worked or hasn’t worked and why do you think it has worked or not? • What challenges or barriers have you encountered as you have attempted specific strategies? • What is your hope, dream, vision of success with your (this) child/family?

  33. Big Question ? • Can wraparound teams use data-based decision-making 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?

  34. Four Phases of Wraparound Implementation • Team Preparation • Get people ready to be a team • Complete strengths/needs chats (baseline data) • Initial Plan Development • Hold initial planning meetings (integrate data) • Develop a team “culture” (use data to establish voice) • Plan Implementation & Refinement • Hold team meetings to review plans (ongoing data collection and use) • Modify, adapt & adjust team plan (based on data) • Plan Completion & Transition • Define good enough (Data-based decision-making) • “Unwrap”

  35. Blending Data Sources: • Listening/probing during conversations/chats: • Translating their stories • Data Tools • Documenting key areas of strengths/needs

  36. The Data Tools: • Wraparound Integrity Tool (WIT) • Referral/Disposition Tool (RD-T) • Home/School/Community Tool (HSC-T) • Education Information Tool (EI-T) • Big Behavior Tool (BB-T) • Youth Satisfaction Tool (YS-T) • Family Satisfaction Tool (FS-T) • ISBE Parent Survey (upon discharge?)

  48. Steps for Developing a Wraparound Plan Step 1: Initial Conversations (story) Step 2: Clarify Agenda, logistics, & team rules Step 3: Introduce by Roles and Goals Step 4: Develop/Review a Mission Statement Step 5: Start Meeting w/Strengths; Celebrate Successes Step 6: Identify Needs across Domains Step 7: Prioritize Needs Step 8: Develop Actions Step 9: Assign Tasks/Solicit Commitments/ Set Next Meeting Date Document, Evaluate, Revise…..

  49. Team Design and Team Development: Identifying Roles of Team members Life Domain Profile: Strengths, Needs Interventions

  50. Teams & Wraparound Practice Patterns: How it Happens in Wraparound • Three types of team members • Natural: connected to family by relationship • Informal: Connected by citizenship • System: Paid to care • Potential team members are generated through initial conversations prior to first meeting • Families are encouraged to invite their supports to help “us” stay on track • Agree to change the conversation to accommodate participation • Identify who will invite who • Orient team members prior to first meeting
