espanolActualmente en Espana estamos viviendo un proceso de transformacion en Atencion Temprana hacia un modelo centrado en la familia. Esta empieza a cobrar un especial protagonismo como eje fundamental de la intervencion, participando activamente en el proceso educativo y rehabilitador del nino.La evidencia cientifica senala que la adecuada interaccion del profesional con la familia, a traves de la implementacion de practicas relacionales y participativas, es fundamental para el exito de la intervencion. Por ello, resulta interesante conocer como se realizan esas interacciones y como son percibidas por los dos agentes.Se aplico el cuestionario de Estilos de Interaccion entre Padres y Profesionales en Atencion Temprana (EIPPAT) (Escorcia, Garcia-Sanchez, Sanchez-Lopez & Hernandez-Perez, 2016) para analizar las estrategias y estilos de interaccion de los profesionales con las familias. El cuestionario fue cumplimentado por 504 familias y 187 profesionales. Los resultados demuestran que los profesionales espanoles desarrollan mas practicas relacionales y menos practicas participativas con las familias. Sin embargo, creen que hacen mas practicas participativas de las que las familias realmente reciben, segun la percepcion de estas familias. Se concluye sobre la necesidad de mejorar la formacion del profesional en las implicaciones de las practicas centradas en la familia en Atencion Temprana. EnglishCurrently in Spain we are living a process of transformation in Early childhood intervention towards a model centred on the family. This model begins to take on a special role as the fundamental axis of the intervention, participating actively in the educational and rehabilitation process of the child. Scientific evidence shows that suitable interaction of professionals with the family, through the implementation of relational and participatory practices, is fundamental for the success of the intervention. Therefore, it is crucial to know how these interactions are carried out and how they are perceived by them. The Styles Questionnaire of Interaction between Parents and Professionals in Early Intervention (SIPPEI) (Escorcia-Mora, Garcia-Sanchez, Sanchez-Lopez & Hernandez-Perez, 2016) was applied in order to analyze the strategies and styles of interaction of professionals with families. The questionnaire was completed by 504 families and 187 professionals. The results obtained show that Spanish professionals develop more relational practices and less participatory practices with families. However, professionals believe that they do more participatory practices than families actually receive, from the perception of these families. This leads us to conclude, about the need to improve professional training about the implications of family-centred practices in Early Intervention.
