Wraparound Experts

What Wraparound Experts does

Wraparound Experts LLC is a Cleveland, Ohio-based professional services firm founded in 2021 by Dr. Colleen Morris Lorber that delivers school-based special education, mental health, and behavioral support services to K-12 students, schools, and families across Northeast Ohio. The company places 50+ licensed professionals — including school psychologists, intervention specialists, mental health counselors, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and behavior analysts — into more than 35 school buildings, and also provides direct family-facing services such as Independent Education Evaluations, psychological testing through its Clinical Assessment Team, preschool mental health consultation, suicide risk assessment, summer tutoring, and tiered Mental Health and Behavioral Boot Camps. Its proprietary service methodology, branded as "The Wraparound Way," coordinates academic, emotional, and behavioral support around each student across school and home environments.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market targeting K-12 school district administrators and procurement contacts in Ohio, supplemented by family-direct acquisition through referrals and community partnerships. Revenue is generated through negotiated per-contract professional staffing agreements with districts, direct-pay family services, training and professional development programs, and transaction-fee billing through Ohio's Jon Peterson Special Education Scholarship and Autism Scholarship programs. Distribution runs through three channels: enterprise staffing contracts with districts, direct family services, and a dedicated Training Center serving school staff and educators.

The firm is a privately held LLC, bootstrapped/founder-owned aside from a single $255,000 funding event in June 2022, with no disclosed institutional investors, acquisitions, or parent company. Operating risk is shaped by geographic concentration in Ohio, dependence on district procurement cycles and public scholarship funding, and a labor-intensive delivery model dependent on a constrained supply of licensed special education and mental health professionals.
