Completing the Continuum of Schoolwide Positive behavior Support: Wraparound as a Tertiary-Level Intervention

Comprehensive, Integrated, Three-Tiered Models of Prevention: Why Does My School—and District—Need an Integrated Approach to Meet Students’ Academic, Behavioral, and Social Needs?

“…These supports include functional assessment-based interventions (Kern & Manz, 2004;Lane, Oakes, & Cox, 2011), multisystemic family therapy (Multisystemic Therapy [Schoenwalk, Brown, & Henggeler, 2000]), wraparound services (Eber et al, 2009), and highly intensive reading supports (Denton, Fletcher, Anthony, & Francis, 2006). For example, middle school students scoring in the extremely elevated risk category on the BASC2 Behavioral and Emotional Screening System scales (Kamphaus & Reynolds, 2008) who are also earning failing grades as indicated on second quarter progress reports may participate in functional assessment-based interventions to increase academic engagement and decrease disruption.…”

Schoolwide Systems of Positive Behavior Support: Implications for Students at Risk and With Emotional/Behavioral Disorders

“…Tier III educational practices are driven by a functional behavioral assessment to design function-based individual positive behavior intervention plans (Crone & Horner, 2003; Gage, Lewis, & Stichter, 2012). In addition, for students with complex needs requiring multidisciplinary services, teams employ a person-centered or wraparound process to ensure that student and family needs are at the center of supports (Artesani & Mallar, 1998; Eber et al, 2009; Scott & Eber, 2003).…”

Integrating Wraparound into a Schoolwide System of Positive Behavior Supports

“…Emerging from the fields of mental health and child welfare, wraparound is a team-based, collaborative process for developing and implementing individualized care plans for youth with and at-risk of EBD and their families (Burchard et al 2002;Eber et al 2009a;Walker and Bruns 2006). The core principles of wraparound (Bruns and Walker 2008), clarify that wraparound is not a single service, but instead a process through which specific school and/ or community based interventions can be designed, implemented, and coordinated.…”

“…When reviewing Illinois PBIS Network T-3W student outcomes over the past 4 years, the data continue to demonstrate that when students receive intensive school-based wraparound planning within a system of SWPBS for a period of 6 or more months, significant gains are noted in the areas of educational, behavioral, social, and emotional functioning (Eber et al 2008(Eber et al , 2009a. Team perception of student success with the wraparound process is positively correlated with a longer length of intervention and how frequently a team meets.…”
