Based on an ever-growing body of research, family-centered practices are a recommended, evidence-based principle of early childhood intervention provided by speech-language pathologists and audiologists, as well as by all other disciplines involved in providing supports and services to young children with delays and disabilities and their families. Despite this, research also suggests that (1) the concept of family-centered practices is often misunderstood, and (2) a gap continues to exist between recommended and the actual use of family-centered practices across all disciplines. In this article, we describe the evidence behind family-centered practices, how and why family-centered practices have become a key aspect of evidence-based early childhood communication intervention, and the defining characteristics and components of family-centered practices. In order to accomplish this goal the authors did an extensive research review of the literature. As a result of findings from the studies revised, the role of the SLP in early childhood intervention is calling for a shift from direct work with an individual child to teaching, supporting, and building the capacity of the child's communication partners, with the ultimate goal of the child becoming more successful in how he/she participates and communicates in interactions and routines throughout the day and within natural contexts. These recommendations have been incorporated by important scientific and professional organizations such as the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association in their guidelines for providing early evidence-based communication intervention. Concluding we underlined the importance of viewing family centered practices as a capacity-building endeavor required for quality EI practices.
