“This program could
be and should be
in every school!”
 

Dr Paul Hutchins
Head of Child Development Unit
The Children’s Hospital at Westmead
 
 
Wrap Around Kids™ is an award-winning, Australian program designed to address the growing incidence of kids who don’t fit in with today’s classroom environment. It’s designed to provide teachers with practical classroom strategies for managing different learning styles and behaviours.

When a child has a medical condition or disability, it pervades every aspect of their life. It may surprise you to know that as many as one in five students require additional support during their 30 hours a week at school.

Wrap Around Kids™ provides a communication framework for regular sharing of information and expertise between families, teachers and other managing professionals and is compliant with Privacy Legislation.

Put simply, it’s a dynamic collaboration between parents, education and health professionals facilitated by confidential meetings at school.

Here, precious insights are gathered and plans made with the aim of resolving issues affecting the child’s health, learning outcomes, social success, family and psychological well-being.		 Wrap Around Kids OnLine (WAKOL) is an internet based software application designed and developed specifically for Wrap Around Kids.
   
  WAKOL provides the tools to:
 

Share information about a child with the key people involved in management

Centralise parents’ storage of information critical to the support of their children
Implement Wrap Around Kids™ at
participating schools


Also provided are a wealth of resources in the form of Factsheets, Diagnostic Criteria, Rating Scales, Journal, Media and Web Articles, useful Internet Links and of course all the Forms and Letters for use by Schools.

Researchers will have the opportunity to analyse aggregated data, resulting in a better understanding of community needs.

WAKOL empowers parents, allowing them to decide who accesses their children’s records.
