| Abstract A wraparound system is a "needs-driven process for creating and providing services for individual children and their families" (Eber, Nelson, & Miles, 1997, p. 541). It is a widely recognized intervention for children with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). This paper systematically reviews studies published between 1986 and 2024 to assess the effectiveness of the wraparound approach in addressing problem behaviors in individuals with EBD, and compares its outcomes to other interventions. Ten studies were identified and reviewed based on predefined inclusion criteria. The findings suggest that wraparound can be an effective treatment for reducing problem behaviors in children and adolescents with EBD. However, only three of the ten studies demonstrated that wraparound is more effective than other comparison interventions in reducing emotional and behavioral problems for both children and adults. The paper also explores the challenges in ensuring consistency in wraparound implementation and the need for continued research to strengthen its impact. Despite these challenges, the evidence highlights the potential of wraparound as a valuable intervention for supporting youth and families with complex emotional and behavioral needs. | ||
