AB Family-centered services are the recommended early intervention approach todevelop and deliver services for children with disabilities and their families. Thissystematic review aims to identify and highlight what barriers service providers infamily-centered early intervention perceive that prevent them from providing high-quality services focused on the family and the child’s overall well-being. We identi-fied 37 articles that met the selection criteria of the first initial search of 1858 arti-cles. These studies provided insights from both service providers and families. Theidentified barriers were categorized into eight dimensions: family, child, knowledge,and application of the approach/model, professional beliefs, natural environment,service coordination, working conditions, and current legislation. The main barriersidentified were family barriers, insecurities perceived by professionals and difficul-ties in their ability to provide services, changes in their attitudes and behaviors whenthey perceive that they are losing their role as experts, lack of knowledge and appli-cation of specific practices, and lack of skills needed to engage primary caregiversin natural settings. These findings should inform policy implementation at local andstate levels in countries where family-centered service is established in early child-hood programs.
