Abstract | This paper presents results of an evaluation study of the Fostering Individualized Assistance Program (FIAP), an effort to provide individualized wraparound supports and services to foster children with emotional/behavioral disturbances and their families (foster, biological, and/or adoptive). The program aims to stabilize child placement and improve child emotional and behavioral adjustment through means such as: (1) child and family assessment; (2) life-domain service planning; (3) clinical case management of individualized, wraparound supports and services; and (4) follow-along supports to maintain permanency. The study compared a sample (n=54) of children who received this individualized, wraparound process with a comparable sample of children who received standard services through the Florida foster care system. Findings indicated that: FIAP children were significantly less likely to change placements than comparison children; both groups showed significant improvement in emotional/behavioral adjustment over time; FIAP boys were more likely to show signs of delinquency than comparison boys; older FIAP youth were more likely than comparison youth to be in permanency settings; and school absences and suspensions were lower for FIAP youth. Recommendations for developing and implementing an individualized wraparound system of care are offered. (Contains 11 references.) (DB) |
