Abstract Family participation in the support process by the early childhood intervention teams is an essential component for child development and inclusion. Given the implementation of these teams in Portugal, we intend to understand the participation of families in the support provided, in the words of the professionals, as well as the facilitators of family participation. In this qualitative analysis study, we interviewed 18 early childhood intervention professionals. The data obtained reveals that professionals consider promoting family participation. However, we found that most of the time it is the professional who leads the whole support process. We also concluded that professionals wish families to participate more in early childhood intervention support, recognize the relational component as the basis of all their work with families and are beginning to use the participatory component, particularly practices that support informed choice and parental participation.
