Wrap-around service delivery is a team-based, collaborative case management approach. A case management approach represents a point-of-delivery, rather than a system-level, approach to coordination. The concept of Wrap-around programming is used to describe any program that is flexible, person-oriented and comprehensive – that is, several organizations work together to provide a holistic program of supports.

Wrap-around is a strengths-based intervention. This means that it seeks to identify and capitalize on an individual's assets. A deficit approach, on the other hand, identifies an individual's problems and seeks to fix these. An individualized wrap-around plan is supposed to reflect the needs of the individual, rather than availability of services. A wrap-around approach is designed for individuals with multiple or complex needs. In the case of individuals with disabilities living in the community, a wrap-around approach works best to help each individual access the services and supports that benefit them.
