“…More specifically, with regard to parents' level of schooling, we found that families with primary to middle school and secondary education present higher values regarding the outcomes of EI in the dimension of child and family competency development, in comparison with parents with higher education levels. These results are similar to those obtained by Kirby, White, and Baranek (2015), and by Leite and Pereira (2013). It is possible to ground these results on the ease of access to information by parents with a higher level of schooling outside the EI support system Gowen, Christy, & Sparling, 1993).…”

“…The analysis of the outcomes of EI also demonstrated that parents' level of schooling and employment may work as decisive variables in the attainment of outcomes for the families. These results are supported and explained by some studies by several authors Dunst, Hamby, & Brookfield, 2007a;Dunst, Leet, & Trivette, 1988;Leite & Pereira, 2013;Sampaio & Geraldes, 2006;Warfield et al, 2000).…”

Several studies have stressed the outcomes for families who are supported by Early Intervention in the following dimensions: knowledge/information; development of competencies; well-being; and quality of life. As a result, this study assessed 999 families to examine the outcomes of Early Intervention in Portugal. Our results show that families supported by Early Intervention benefit in dimensions related to the development of competencies in the child and the family, and to the gain of information and knowledge about support and community resources, which results in perceived control and co-responsibility. The analysis of the outcomes of Early Intervention also shows that parents' education and occupation levels are determining variables for a family to benefit from the positive impact of Early Intervention. In light of such results, we present recommendations for practices in the area of Early Intervention with the aim of adapting the practices of professionals to the concerns and priorities of Portuguese families.

O desenvolvimento das práticas de Intervenção Precoce na Infância é incompleto sem a participação das famílias. Esta dimensão constitui a componente diferenciadora da abordagem centrada na família - eixo das práticas recomendadas internacionalmente para a Intervenção Precoce na Infância.Assim, conhecer as perspetivas das famílias, apresentadas em estudos empíricos, acerca as práticas de Intervenção Precoce na Infância é o propósito deste estudo.Com a formulação de critérios de seleção, que se basearam no ano de publicação; tipo/natureza do estudo; objetivos e sujeitos; procedemos a uma pesquisa abrangente da literatura publicada entre 2011 e 2017, existente nas bases de dados b-on, ERIC, Scopus e Scielo.Após a leitura de 1002 títulos de estudos, identificámos 79 estudos, dos quais lemos o resumo e deste passámos para a leitura integral do estudo. Pelo que encontrámos 14 estudos que preencheram os critérios de seleção e alvos de avaliação.A análise dos resultados foi guiada pelas orientações para a implementação da abordagem centrada na família e, assim, composta em quatro categorias: (1) práticas relacionais; (2) práticas participativas; (3) qualidade técnica do profissional; (4) equipa transdisciplinar.Estes estudos fornecem evidências da importância e utilidade da Intervenção Precoce na Infância e dos seus benefícios para as crianças e suas famílias. Os serviços prestados foram positivamente úteis na compreensão das necessidades e competências das famílias e das suas crianças e contribuíram para o seu desenvolvimento. Emergem contributos de indicadores de competências profissionais.

“…As a result, extensive research was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of early intervention programs. Findings suggest that early intervention programs are effective in both improving the children's global development and limiting the risk of secondary complications (Golubovic, Markovic, & Perovic, 2015;Guralnick, 2005;Leite & Pereira, 2013).…”

The endorsement of early intervention programs with children with special needs has resulted in considering this practice as an essential need to enhance the abilities of children with disabilities. This study was motivated by a pursuit to gain a better understanding on the impact of delivering early intervention service to children with special needs in their natural environment. To achieve this purpose this study aimed to investigate the effect of a home-based early intervention program called Portage program. The study evaluated the children's progress in five developmental areas: communication, social-emotional development, exploration, purposeful-motor activity, and sensory organization, and assessed parents' satisfaction and feedback on the program. The study followed the mixed method research design, quantitative data was collected for 16 participating children by comparing the results of the pre post scores of the TOP checklist, and qualitative data was collected using a parent interview to asses parents' satisfaction of nine parents with the program. The findings of this study were compatible with previous research that revealed the positive effect of the Portage program.
