abstract = {Early childhood intervention is crucial for the development of minors with disabilities or
at risk. Family-centred planning (FCP), which involves families in care, stands out in this context.
Despite its importance, little is known about professionals’ experiences of its implementation. FCP
aims to tailor services to the needs of the family and the child within the Spanish health system. This
study highlights the importance of assessing professionals’ perceptions of FCP. Professionals rooted
in traditional approaches may resist change. To assess the implementation of FCPs, the study explores
the perspectives of 25 healthcare professionals using qualitative methods to assess their experiences.
The qualitative descriptive phenomenological design, following Giorgi’s modified Husserlian approach,
seeks to understand the essence of the phenomenon from the participants’ perspective. Two
main themes emerged: (1) a social and work organization that perpetuates rehabilitation or early
stimulation practices and (2) a socio-family and work organization that promotes FCP adherence,
along with subthemes and units of meaning. The evaluation reveals common challenges, such as
the need for solid training and institutional support. Evaluating the experience of professionals is
essential to overcome barriers and ensure the successful implementation of FCPs. Administrators
have an important role to play in providing social, health, and educational alternatives.},
