Family-centered practices - an internationally recommended practice to Early Childhood Intervention - assigns families the role of protagonists in the process of supporting children through their active engagement, taking into account their needs and concerns. The purpose of this study is to know what current practices are being adopted by professionals from the perspectives of the families supported. Thus, the objective of the study is to identify the practices that are being implemented in the process of support of Early Intervention at the international level. With the formulation of selection criteria, which were based on the year of publication; type/nature of the study; aims and subjects; we conducted a comprehensive survey of the literature published between 2011 and 2017 in the b-on, ERIC, Scopus and Scielo databases. After reading 1002 study titles, we identified 79 studies, of which we read the abstract and from this we moved on to the full reading of the study. Therefore, we found 14 studies that met the selection criteria and evaluation targets. The analysis of the results was guided by the guidelines for the implementation of the family-centered practices, and thus was composed of four categories: (1) relational practices; (2) participatory practices; (3) technical quality of the professional; (4) transdisciplinary team. These studies provide evidence of the importance and usefulness of Early Childhood Intervention and its benefits to children and their families. The services provided were positively useful in understanding the needs and skills of families and their children and contributed to their development. Contributions of indicators of professional competences emergeDownloads
