PORTUGAL, Gabriela  and  SANTOS, Paula. An experiential approach in early intervention: in training, supervision and intervention. Psicologia [online]. 2003, vol.17, n.1, pp.161-177. ISSN 0874-2049.  https://doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v17i1.443.

Early Intervention (El) is a family centred process, having as ultimate desired outcome, the development and well being of 0-6 children at risk of developmental delay (due to established, biological or environmental factors). Its success depends on the processes lived by their families, on their strive to become capable, empowered, in control of their own lives, raising their children, participating in the communities they live in, experiencing feelings of emotional well being and involvement. In order to support families in their strive to acquire all those strengths that make them families, the role played by professionals capable of being sensitive, stimulating and promoting autonomy of families is crucial. Scaffolding the professionals on their strive of acquiring competencies to develop the relational process underlying El, we present a training, supervision and evaluating model of El based on an experiential approach.

Keywords : Intervenção precoce; abordagem experiencial; supervisão; estilos interactivos; estimulação; sensibilidade e autonomia.
