What is different about Wraparound Kids?

Family voice and choice

The family owns the WAK account and chooses who will be involved. The family can store all documents, assessments, and reports. The family can upload photos, videos etc of person outcomes and demonstrate evidence of an issue or of a success.

Unconditional care

Despite challenges, the team will persist in working toward the goals in the plan.

Team based

The people on the team are decided by the need as assessed by the family or participant.

Outcome based

Success is measured by the process outcomes that can be monitored and evidenced by recorded data on the person’s account.

Natural supports

The team consists of any member of the person's personal and support system locally.

Culturally competent

The family’s cultural ties are vitally important so they can choose their supports from their own culture.

Collaboration

The team works together guided by the family/persons requirements. The plan may already exist, as in NDIS or mental health plan, and the team works within the framework of what the person’s expressed needs are. 

Community based

The services and support are ideally local and accessible. Video conferencing can assist in a specialised area of support e.g., psychiatrist, psychologist.

Wrap Around Kids

Case Scenario

Child has a diagnosis/developmental disorder. Also, complex psychosocial issues impact on the family. They have relocated from another state. No information was available at hand. Very little extended family support. Referred to GP. Followed an extended period of information gathering and communication with previous interstate clinical specialists, getting reports, and then referral to and discussion with local paediatricians and CAMHS, and local Support coordinator.

Further assessments were required, and medication treatment was initiated, and assessments were booked. 

This scenario indicates the time spent searching for information, frustration for the parent who had to repeat the information several times with no information at hand. It meant a delay in treatment and support for the family.
