WERT has just published a comprehensive review of wraparound research from 1986-2014.
We are excited to announce the release of the revised Team Observation Measure, the TOM 2.0! WERT's goal was to create a reliable and valid measure of adherence to the Wraparound principles and key elements that is less burdensome and more sensitive to different elements of Wraparound practice implementation. In the revision, WERT was able to remove redundant items, make the language clearer and more consistent, remove non-essential items that showed little variability on the original TOM, and separate the assessment of facilitation skills from fidelity to the Wraparound model.
We're planning the next National Wraparound Implementation Academy for Fall 2016 ... your input is needed!
Be sure to join us for the next NWI webinar in the new year.
The webinar will be held Tuesday, January 19, 2016 at 11:00 am PST. This webinar will set the context for the importance of Wraparound quality, fidelity, and implementation supports. A review of the latest innovations, data, and research will be presented on such areas as cost, outcomes, workforce supports, and evidence-based clinical practices.
