The All-Inclusive Wraparound Scheme, which is unique to the southern area of the country, attempts to develop new ways of working in partnership to create the best service for young people with disabilities. The scheme was introduced in October 2001 and was funded until March with 1.5m from the Government's Executive Programme Funds.
Last week it was announced Wraparound would get a further 480,000 from the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety.
The scheme has supported a range of projects including the establishment of new one-stop outreach clinics to take services to the children that need them.
It has enabled the appointment of new workers to support blind and partially sighted children and their families, and work with children who have autism and other learning disabilities.
